BH getting more intense?

Today at work and a few times last week I noticed it was getting more difficult to walk through my braxton hicks contractions. Today I had to actually stop in my tracks until they let up, where I used to could kinda waddle through them. I couldn't stand up right, had to bend over while having one, not necessarily from pain, although I did feel slight cramping from them, but from how tight it would get and from the pressure. I just couldn't stand up straight at all. Anyone else getting more intense b/h like this?

Also I felt them more in my lower abdomen than in my upper belly. Lower part would get hard instead of upper.

(Don't believe they were true contractions of course because once I got home they have gone away... just more stronger than they used to be)
