Braxton Hicks/ Dilation ?

Lesly

So I’m almost 34 weeks. I have been with Braxton Hicks for over 2 weeks. Today I feel like I have had them all day. Not much has helped. Also have been experiencing lightning crotch. Baby has been with her head down for weeks now.

My cervix hasn’t been the firmest since this is my third pregnancy and the doctor said it is normal. But now when I shower and check myself I feel like I am dilating.

Anyone check themselves and feel concerned ? Or feel like the Braxton Hicks are more intense than usual at this amount of weeks ?
