what do Braxton hicks feel like?

I'm having mild pains in my side and middle stomach, and am just wondering if this is what they are. This app says I might be getting them soon I'm 31+3weeks...

That little heart beat feeling is hiccups and the Braxton hicks are pretty much what u described it feels like your bump is tightening and it goes away of u lay down or walk around :)

I've been feeling something like a heart beat once a day and I just thought that the baby had hic ups, so they aren't light pains then?
