I think now that you know what your looking for, you may notice them.  After I figured out what they were, I noticed them more.  They can make it hard to breath, so I could definitely see were they would cause chest pains.  And as you get further along and the uterus gets bigger, they definitely get more intence.  With my first son I was about 38 weeks and was sure I was going into labor, except when I timed them, they weren't regular.  They can even be painful at times.  The biggest difference for me from b/h and real labor was an awful mebstral like back pain that felt like horrible diarea cramps.  I even had diarea so until I realized and timed the episodes, I didn't know at first it was labor.  Good luck, hope this helps!

What did you go to the hospital for?  Do they think your in labor?  NY braxton Hicks where that way, with my first pregnancy I didn't know I was having them till they showed up while having a non stress test.  They said it was normal unless your having a lot of them and if they are regular.  Good luck to you:)
