Braxton hicks

I am 34+3 and have been getting braxton hicks for a while now, but they seem to be increasing which I heard they do the closer you get.

It’s never done this before until past few days but when I get them now, I become really sick with them, like they make me sick and dizzy from the pressure. I can’t decide whether They are slightly painful or just really bad pressure that also goes into my vagina. I am also now getting them throughout the night which wakes me up. I feel like I have to do my yoga breathing when I get them

Is anyone else like this? This is my first baby. I mentioned it to my midwife but they seemed to brush it off saying that they can be painful at times.
