Is this normal? FTM (well first pregnancy lol)

So I’m 29weeks and 3 days I’ve been having off and on cramping and stomach tightening off an on for the past few days it usually goes away after a few seconds or a minute but today they’ve been more frequent it almost feels like period cramps just a little more Intense and all over my belly or like gas pain i guess. And my back has been killing me, more so than usual. I was going to bring it up at my next appointment in 2 days to see if it’s any concern. I just wanted to get some more Info and maybe your experience.
