Braxton Hicks Contractions?

[AMG13]

I'm 28w3d and for the past 3 nights, especially after I eat, I get these sharp stabbing pains in my stomach, abdomen, & pelvic area that kind of feel like bad menstrual or gas cramps. They last for a few seconds & are intense & happens a couple times then it goes away. I'm a ftm so I'm wondering if these are either Braxton Hicks contractions, round ligament pain, or gas pains? If it is one of those, which one is it most likely? But if it's not one of those, what else could it be? Thanks! :)

Yeah that's exactly how they feel, like really bad menstrual cramps lol. And everyone keeps saying they don't hurt, but apparently they do, at least to me they do.

i told him mine felt like horriable pms cramps. thats the only way i could describe them.

im a ftm also and 25w6d.. these sound exactly like what i desceibed to my doc a few days ago bc everyone kept saying braxton hicks dont hurt. my doc chuckled a little and said that thats exactly what they are. iv been getting them every few days and they sux. as long as they arnt able to be time over and over again ur good.
