Braxton Hicks concerns

Is there ever a point that you should call you midwife or doctor over painful Braxton Hicks?

Yesterday my belly began contracting and tightening, which wasn’t painful so I thought nothing of it. I walked, drank water, had a bath, and tried to lay down. Nothing has made it stop.

In fact it seems to have gotten worse. It’s not cramping, just really painful tightening and aches. I’m currently 33 weeks and just don’t want to make a fuss if there’s no reason to. I’m just concerned that this has been going on for about 12 hours now and hasn’t changed, even after rest and plenty of water.

Any thoughts would be appreciated
