Are these BH? Should they hurt?

Not truly sure what Braxton Hicks feel like, but I've noticed the past few weeks sharp little pains around my upper abdomen, as well as achy, more period cramp like pains in the lower part below the bikini line (not usually at the same time). Nothing is super painful like I imagine contractions to be, but they do hurt. Last night while driving they came and went pretty regularly for about an hour but subsided for the most part once I got home. My back was a little achy too. I marked it in Glow as more than 8 BH in an hour and it said to report it to my doctor. I decided to see if they came back overnight, but they didn't. I assume it's nothing but BH, but I'll call the nurse today and just check in. Anyone have anything similar?
