Rib/upper back pain? Contractions?

Arika

So today I’ve had intermittent period like cramping, and Braxton Hicks pretty much all day/non stop. Since about 7:30 this evening, I’ve had what feels like contractions/back labor in my rib area into my middle back area. I’ve drank plenty of water, taken a bath, and laid down on my left side and nothing is helping. It’s a strong pressure/pain that comes in waves like contractions. It is hard to talk through at times and makes it hard to breathe. Has anyone else had this??? Please help! I’m 33.5 weeks btw.
