Stomach pains

Im a ftm, due June 13. I dont think what Ive been experiencing has been contractions but I get really bad pains like below my ribs. They last a long time and kind of feel like a sore muscle but much worse. Has anyone else had this or know what it could be?

I get them at the top middle of my stomach when I've been standing up awhile. Its from the heaviness of the baby pulling on me.

I get that too.. I dunno if it's the baby just fooling around up there or muscles  stretching. I'm 40+2 right now but I've had them way before full term

I dont think its contractions cuz it lasts like all day and Ive been having them for like a week or so. I had a false alarm last week and those contractions didnt feel anything like this. Its not like pain that will come and go its been steady since I got up this morning.

Those are contractions!! Braxton hicks or the real deal. Every woman experiences them differently. Mine are the bottom of my stomach, and my vagina. My friends was all in her back. Time them and call your doc when they are 5 minutes apart. Good luck!
