lightening jolt feeling?

I'm 35+5 weeks and today I've been having these lightening jolt feelings. Like I'm being shocked. It's in my lower right abdomen in my pelvic region. I had one at 3:06, 3:16, 3:26, 3:58, and 4:12. they don't last but a second and it's enough of a shock to stop me in my tracks. are these Braxton hicks?? My baby stays on the left side. So it's not any nerve I'm guessing.

It's not normal cause your baby will be consider premature :/ , some women have their baby's at 35 week but parts of there baby's lungs for example  are not fully developed, it not consider premature after 37 weeks ! I was in the hospital a week ago and was 35 weeks and my baby wanted out cause I had a kidney infection and that's what caused me contractions and my baby to want to get out good thing it got under control and nothing happened I'm 36 weeks now and I'm just waiting for my baby girl to arrive , I hope everything goes good with you good luck !

I hope so. Lol. I'm going to tell my midwife come tuesday. My friends mom said it wasn't normal to feel that this early, and it freaked me out a little bit.
