Braxton hicks

I posted on the 18-25 group aswell. But I want to know whar you think.
I am currently 33 weeks pregnant and I get very very painful Braxton hicks. I get tightening around my stomach, I get very painful cramps (like period cramps but 10 times worse) I get pressure on my cervix and it feels like my vagina opens up.
Has anyone else experienced this? And what can I do to help it?
