Gas Like pains

Brittany

The last week I have been getting what feels like gas pains in my lower belly or on the side. It comes in waves for a couple hours at a time then it goes away. Don't really feel like going into ER to have them tell me all I need to do is fart lol I am not constipated and have been told this could be braxton hicks, but everywhere I read tells me braxtons hicks are like period cramps! Does anyone else have this?
