Cramping vs Braxton hicks?

Jamie
Okay so I'm confused. I have been having some cramping recently almost similar to period cramps but not severe.. Mainly in my back and then some discomfort in my pelvic area. It really does remind me of when my period cramps were about to start. When I google Braxton hicks it says it's like tightening of the stomach but mine aren't anything like that? So am what I'm experience still Braxton hicks? I'm 32+5 days.
