What could this mean?

I'm 37 weeks pregnant today but for the past week I've been having really really bad cramping. It will wake me up in the middle of the night sometimes but then goes away what could this mean? Is it normal? I am a second time mommy but I never had this problem with my first pregnancy. Thanks

I get them while I get Braxton hicks at the same time so my belly would be hard and getting pains at the same time it's weird.

I was having the same thing and my doc said it was Braxton hicks. I didn't have them at all with my first so I didn't know what they felt like. They told me to just drink alot of water cuz it could be a sign of slight dehydration.
