Braxton Hicks/ contractions

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with these trace monitors? I went in today for low movement and thankfully after a couple of hours she started to play ball but a lot of tightenings were picked up too.
I've been sent home but told to get prepared which I didn't expect. Do these look like true contractions or BH?
This is third baby and I know I'm not having full blown pains but I'm getting a little sorer now. I could feel these but didn't realise what they were.
I'm 38 weeks with Caesarian booked next week.
Thanks for any insights

Braxton hicks can appear like that on a trace....I wouldn't read that much in to it, especially if they aren't painful.

Thanks for replying. Things are feeling a bit more intense now so I'm just resting and drinking water. Last thing I want is labour lol.
I'm looking forward to an organised calm experience this time, I'm just hoping she's onboard with that tooGrin
