Normal Braxton hicks or something more?

Robin • Mommy to Phoenix 8.8.19 my beautiful rainbow baby boy!

I had Braxton hicks all night last night and into today. Some are a little painful but it's mostly just uncomfortable. The frequency is what made me worry and want to go to the er but I dont want to go for nothing. I had 22 braxton hicks in less than 3 hrs. Everytime I get one I feel pressure on my bladder and tightening in my back.

Does this sound normal and like I'm just gearing up for the real deal? I'm still having them today but no other symptoms of labor. I'm 34 weeks today and a FTM

I called the oncall and they always just tell me to go to l&d to get monitored
