Braxton Hicks ? 🤔

I’m currently fighting a cold (it’s horrendous) and I’ve noticed sharp pains from my belly shooting into like, my groin. Those went away after I was able to nap for a bit tonight but now I’m getting what feels like period cramps that come and go. Belly doesn’t seem to tighten when the cramping happens. I was slightly nauseous when it started but that’s completely gone at this point. Cramping seems to have stopped for now too.

Are these Braxton Hicks contractions ? I didn’t have them with my daughter so I have no idea what to expect. I also didn’t go into labour with her either so no clue what contractions are like at all. Babe’s movements have been a lot less the last two days but I’ve been under a lot of stress unfortunately. I’m just wondering if this is normal or not 😅
