Painful Braxton Hicks at 16 weeks?

Va

I had the worst contraction-like pain last night and I’m wondering if that’s normal or if anyone else has experienced this before the third trimester. I have a son so I’ve been through labour and delivery and the pain I had last night was so similar to contractions and was not gas pain which I have also experienced during this pregnancy and much more painful than the round ligament pain I’ve had so far. It lasted for maybe 20-30 minutes. Is this normal or should I be concerned?
