Frequent BH Contractions

Have any of you been experiencing very frequent braxton hicks contractions? I'm 32+4 and I've been experiencing them for a couple weeks now, but they have become quite frequent in the last 24 hours (half dozen or so an hour).

I'm almost 36 weeks.  I've been having them very frequently for the past few weeks.  A few days ago they became more painful (but I could still talk through them) and were every 5 to 7 minutes. I timed them for over 2 and a half hours. I talked to my dr about it and they said it was completely normal. They are quite distracting!

Thanks for the feedback; I was a little freaked out. I feel better now.
