pains and belly hardening

i am nearly 35 wks pregnant and i am gettin cramp pains every now and again and for the last 24hrs my belly keeps hardening, i have had one child already but that was nearly 6yrs ago and you forget about the things you go through, what does this mean is it just braxton hicks or is it the real thing.

You can go thru 3 life times between having kids and although you'll forget about the pain shortly after you're all healed n what not, you'll deff know when it's "that time" again.
I'm 31 weeks today, and I've been getting alot of BH at night time that can actually become quite painful.
But like Rosa20 said, if they're not regular, they're not the real thing.
You'll get more and more BH as you get closer and closer to your due date.
It's just your body's way of practice and preparation!!
Good luck!
