could use a little help please

Okay so I believe I'm feeling contractions but I'm currently 34 weeks and I'm not in pain. Are these braxton hicks? My stomach tightens and gets really hard and contorted for a bit. I haven't timed anything because it's pretty sporadic throughout the last 3 days. It doesn't hurt, it just kind of startles me and sometimes I feel a dull ache. Would love some input please :-)

It is Braxton hicks but since contractions sometimes makes your cervix start to thin out its best if you get it checked out. I started feeling then around 25 weeks and my cervix did get thin so my doc put me on meds. I am now 36 weeks

My braxton hicks sound simmilar...sometimes my stomach muscles feel really sore after a session of BH... I believe that if we have strong BH while pregnant our labor will be great... I have no proof but i wish so and so it will be :)
