Braxton Hicks or real contractions?

Brittany • Thomas Eugene 👶🏻💙 Baby #2 coming soon! (Hopefully)

I am 34 weeks 3 days and the past 2 days I’ve been cramping a lot more than I had been it’s not agonizing or consistent but it’s annoying and kinda painful at times is it normal for Braxton Hicks to get stronger and more frequent than they use to as your due date approaches or is this the real deal? (Ps I have not lost my mucus plug)
