Is it normal to have pains like this at 38 weeks?

Down each side of the bump (not a terribly big bump I hasten to add!) I have a stitch type pain. I first got it on one side at about 32 weeks when I stood up too quickly, it lasted an hour and a half. Spoke to midwife about it and she said it was probably ligaments stretching and nothing to worry about.

Since yesterday afternoon though I've had a similar type pain down both sides. Kept me awake most of night. I can feel baby moving and it's actually painful as it squirms around. Braxton Hicking like mad.

I don't THINK it's early labour (not that I've got any idea what that feels like) but I've had no other signs - no show, no waters breaking, no backache etc.

Has anyone else had pains like this?
