Pain?

How far apart are they? And does your stomach tighten ?

They told me at the ob that contractions are higher up in your belly and the Braxton Hicks are in the lower abdomen. It can come with or without round ligament pain. I have had both. The Braxton Hicks come and go. The round ligament pain can linger, because it's in the deep tissue. I've had the round ligament for a few days. I'll be 32 weeks Friday.

It does sound like Braxton Hicks! They're very tricky and they can be so painful you think they're the real thing!
This isn't applicable to everyone, but personally, labor feels like I have to take the worst 💩 of my life and nothing helps it. Your entire stomach area will hurt, and will get worse in waves (those are the contractions). Or, it happens in your back! I've never had that happen though, so I can't describe it
