Are Braxton Hicks becoming more painful a sign of anything?

I’ve been having Braxton Hicks for what seems like months and months but just in the last couple of days they painful rather than just annoying. I’m 38+2 and wondering if maybe this could be things happening?

Labour! I had braxton hicks for weeks before my second baby and they gradually got more and more painful. Then I went into labour. So Um if your bags not packed then do it now.

Haha yeah I agree with pp, maybe start timing them?

Let us know how it goes!
