braxton hicks?

I'm 19weeks. About a week ago I had lower back pain the radiated through my stomach that just made me want to cry.. I was just sitting at work when it happened. So I tried drinking more water and used a heating pad. Today when I got to work at 12 I had the same thing. So I asked my sister if she ever had that before she told me poss braxton hicks. Which I know can happen from dehydration, which I believe I may have been. I have been trying to drink water as much as possible (I'm a 911 dispatcher & we've been busy). I've used a heating pad as well. But I feel like I've had lower back pain like that at least once every hour for 3 hours. When should I consider it an emergency? I have a check up on Monday. Hoping I can wait until then.

My pee is actually really clear but I'll ask my doctor at my appointment tomorrow. I've had an awful kidney infection before too and it doesn't really feel like that either. But thanks!
