Braxton hicks?

I read that they are not suppose to be painful. What if they are painful, I'm 32 weeks and mine are painful I don't get them very often but more thank 5 times a day I have gotten them latley. I was taking antibiotics for uti. Could that be why they hurt? Should i be letting my doctor know?

My roomie is six months pregnant and she has uti. And uti hurts, so I think that what going on. Maybe when belly tightens from Braxton hicks it causing abit pain cause uti. From pressure.  I'm 32 weeks myself,  And Braxton hicks are tight and abit uncomfortable.  But if you are consern then I contact your Dr about it ask him/her what they think it is. Oh I be 33 weeks tomorrow :) good luck to you.
