Contractions

So I’ve been having these random sharp vaginal cramps that come and go. I had a doctors apt yesterday and told her and she said it was Braxton Hicks? But I thought Braxton Hicks felt like actual contractions and was in the stomach which I have also. I didn’t realize it until after I left that I didn’t clarify it was vaginal cramps. Does that make a difference? I’m 34 weeks.
