Braxton Hicks

Serenity
Do more Braxton Hicks mean the baby is closer to coming? Or is it common to have daily Braxton Hicks last trimester and still make it to your due date or go past it?
Mine come a lot at night, when I walk up/down stairs, and sometimes if I'm just really active. Curious to if this means I should expect the baby sooner than later or if it's all a part of the process.
