Braxton Hicks?

I have consistent hardening of my belly and vaginal pressure when I'm standing or sitting. Although, when I lay down, I just have hardening and neither really hurts. Could this be Braxton Hicks still, or am I in prelabor? I have a very high pain tolerance.

Im thinking it's prelabor from all the research I've done. I have 12 days until my due date and Im already 50% effaced and 2cm dilated as of last Tuesday. Hopefully I've progressed more by this coming Tuesday, which is my next dr appointment. :)

Well I've been very tired the past 2 days, but I've noticed that, today anyways, I don't have any hardening of my belly when I'm laying down. So I'm pretty sure it's just Braxton Hicks.
