contractions?

I am 36w 5d and I keep waking up extremely uncomfortable (more then usual) I'm having sharp pains right at the tips of my hip bones on both sides. And she feels like she is in a tight ball in the center. But then right after the pain goes away she kicks like crazy under my ribs. My husband tried rubbing my belly and the slightest touch felt like my skin was going to rip. I just had an ultrasound Tuesday and they told me she was really high and didn't want to come out any time soon. This doesnt feel anything like what I pictured contractions to feel like. I'm actually scared that she is flipping back around and going breach. It feels kind of like when she turned had down a few weeks ago.... what do you lakes think?  Is This normal?

Thanks! It happens about an hour apart. I didn't think this is what they would feel like. Just nervous :)

My son does that to me all the time.  The hip pain could be from your joints loosening to get ready for birth.  It doesn't sound like contractions to me.  If you think they are, you can always time them to be sure.
