cramps, contractions, braxton hicks or??

Last night (around 11pm) my hips and back were hurting for a little and it went away and about 40 minutes ago (3:20am) I was laying on my left side and started getting a terrible pain for about a minute or two on my hips and I moved and my hip popped and I felt the baby move a little because of my hip popping and I'm just wondering what could have caused that I'm currently 36 weeks and 4 days

Thank you and its just that u know how braxton Hicks and cramps feel like and I haven't felt something like this before and I just want to make sure because my hospital is 1hr away :/

Ooh, also the baby is making room in the pelvic area for that big day, that's probably why the baby moved after the pop of the hip.

Cramps or Braxton hicks, contractions are rapid and consistent. I was worried too because this pregnancy is different and I'm 35wks and fst girl, my other two was boys also my pregnancies where so far apart. My advice nurse said if it's 3 to 5minutes apart and consistent no matter if your sitting, standing and walking go to labor & delivery.
