Bags packed and ready.

So this is my second pregnancy. This will be my second girl. I will start by saying this pregnancy is totally different. My first was hard because I was far from family and I ate way too much and was huge. This pregnancy has bee. Wonderful, that is until now. I'm almost 34 weeks and I've started to have what I guess are Braxton hicks contractions. I didn't have Braxton hicks with my first. I had 0 pelvic pain until it was time to go into labor with my first. Starting yesterday I started to have that thundering pain in my uterus. It was like every 20 mins while I was at work and then when I got home they started to be random. Are they Braxton hicks if they hurt? Because everyone I've read say they shouldn't hurt. I took off work today to rest and was feeling ok until about 3 hours ago and the random pain came back. Did anyone else experience this?
