Labor maybe soon?

Brooke
Recently I've been having a lot of contractions I think they are Braxton hicks but I get quite a few within an hour I went in last week to be checked and they did an NST and of course I had barely any contractions while doing that but as soon as I left they got worse again and today they are absolutely horrible they hurt so bad and this time it's in the middle of my stomach not the sides like last time plus I've also been having a lot of loose stools recently everything I eat messes with my stomach it doesn't matter what it is I've been trying to take it easy but I haven't done anything today and I'm still getting the contractions could this mean labor may be soon? She has dropped a lot and I know this because she is my second just the first time I was induced and didn't have like any Braxton hicks the whole time I'm 34 weeks
