Painful Braxton Hicks

I thought that BH weren't supposed to be painful - am I just a wuss? I'm 24 weeks pg. For the last week I've had menstrual cramp-type pains in my lower uterus and back for up to 5 minutes at a time. This happens a couple of times per day. They're not intensely painful, more like a mild-ish reminder of what period pain was like on the day before af came (it was lovely to have forgotten!).

They don't seem to go away when I move around (as I thought BH should)...in fact, it's a little hard to breathe deeply or to change positions when one is happening.

Please let me know if I'm just being a total girl about this Blush

Could it be the baby in an uncomfortable position? I've found some positions and movements pretty painful.
