I was having some round ligament pain around that time. Dr told me to lay on my left side and drink water. It worked after about 45 mins to an hr

Braxton Hicks generally aren't painful and they only last for usually under a minute and aren't a lasting pain that goes on for that long. Sounds like something else is going on to me. If it continues and is truly very painful I'd go get checked out
