Braxton Hicks?

Can they be super painful? I had two really intense waves of pain this morning that lasted about a minute or so and were 6 minutes apart. I had two more smaller ones about 6 minutes afterwards. They then completely disappeared. I’ve always heard Braxton Hicks weren’t really painful. These pains made me have to stop what I was doing and I couldn’t really talk. There was lots of pressure in my pelvic area and, at one point, I felt the urge to bear down or push. It felt like I had to poop after being constipated for a week, but the pressure was in my vagina and I haven’t been constipated at all lately (thank god!). Then it suddenly stopped. If I had another one I was going to call my doctor. I have an appointment next week, so I’ll definitely be mentioning it, but I wanted to see if any of you ladies have had a similar experience and it ended up just being Braxton Hicks.
