I think you may be referring to what are called "Braxton-Hicks" contractions.
Braxton Hicks contractions come from a Doctor named John Braxton Hicks. He was the first doctor to ever describe what these type of contractions were. This was back in the mid-late 1800s.
NO because braxton hicks is just a temporary contraction, not increasing in frequency and interval.
No, it's not unusual. Braxton Hicks are normally quite painful no they are not usually painful! they are normally just uncomfortable. its the real contractions that start to hurt. occasionally i believe braxton hicks can cause very minor pain, but mostlythey are just tight and uncomfortable and sometimes feels like period cramps.
No, braxton hicks just help your uterus prepare but it does not mean you are close to delivery trust me I have been there too sweetie.
no
