Painful Braxton hicks anyone?

So I had Braxton hicks rough with both previous pregnancies as well starting at 16 weeks. I went to the ER because the first go around I didn’t know what it was obviously, they hooked me up and said that they were BH contractions but that they weren’t doing any progressing which was good! They said sue to how sick I was and dehydrated is probably why they are more painful for me. Second pregnancy I had them bad again, both pregnancies I actually didn’t realize I was in active labor because they felt that painful I couldn’t tell the difference until they didn’t go away. Now I’m 13 weeks with my third and they are already starting. 😩 My stomach will get so tight and hard and my back will also hurt so bad during them. I took a bath and they went away thankfully. I’m just nervous after going into labor 3 times with my second and delivering prematurely. Any one in the same boat?
