Braxton Hicks vs Contractions

39 weeks pregnant and my BH are getting worse. Well, I think they're BH. My whole bump goes tight, not particularly painful but noticeable and uncomfortable. I've had them for weeks which is why I think they're BH. But I have them like 8 or 9 times an hour sometimes?
This is my second baby and I can only vaguely remember my contractions last time. But the first contraction I felt last time was very strong and straight away every couple of minutes (baby was born very quick).
I guess what I'm asking is how do I know if I'm missing the mild contractions you get at the start?
