Lots of braxton hicks

For the past week or so I've had lots of braxton hicks. The other evening got quite worried as was having them every 20 mins for a few hours and very tight. I seem to get them when walking (expected) and then in the evening when relaxing. Big movements from the baby also seem to trigger them.
I feel huge already and slightly anxious baby will come early. I know they aren't a sign of Labour and it's just the body prepping for labour.
Did anyone else have all these braxton hicks and when did your baby arrive?
I'm nearly 35 weeks.

Had this in both pregnancies, midwife said she thought I may have an irritable uterus, the first one arrived at 40+5 (although by my calculations 40 weeks exactly) and the other was evicted by way of induction at 39+5

Never really had them with my first two. But my third they started from about 30 weeks and were constant (not painful just felt like an egg cracking.

Ds was born at 40+3, induced (for not related reasons)

Currently going through the same, 36 weeks and getting consistent BH - hoping it's a good sign!
