braxton hicks too early?

I'm 22 wks pregnant and this is my 4th baby so I'm not new at this but all day today, starting about 11am I've been having contractions.  They aren't particularly painful but frequent, like every 10 minutes with out fail. Is this normal at 22 wks? They are uncomfortable and I'm supposed to have a csection (4th csection) this doesn't indicate a problem does it?

As long as they don't get closer together or stronger waiting until tomorrow shouldn't be a problem.

I've been having them too. Im 21 wks with my 3rd. My ob isn't concerned at all because these braxton hicks are not dilating my cervix. Its very common in multiple pregnancies

Braxton Hicks contractions shouldn't be regular. I'm not saying there is a problem, but with them being every 10 minutes without fail, I'd give the doctor a call just to be sure.
