Is it normal at 34 weeks pregnant to have like a period pain?
It could be contractions or it could be false contractions (Braxton Hicks)

NO because braxton hicks is just a temporary contraction, not increasing in frequency and interval.
Period like pain and tensing of the belly at 36 weeks pregnant what is this?
It's common to have contractions like Braxton Hicks when it gets closer. If it doesn't go away go to the doctor.
Your daughter had Braxton Hicks contactions the other night but they were painful is this unusual should she call her doctor?
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.
How many braxton hicks can you have in a hour?
Braxton Hicks can be quite regular and can come 5 or 10 minutes apart but they are not making changes in the cervix. The easiest way to tell Braxton Hicks from true labor is to drink a glass of water or juice, and change your activity. If walking, lie down - if lying down, take a walk. Labor will not stop when you move around or stop what you are doing, Braxton Hicks generally will. If you are having regular contractions it is best to call your doctor or hospital for an evaluation - many women have quite painful Braxton Hick's and many women have very little pain from early contractions that could signal early labor.
What are Braxton Hicks contractions?
contractions or false laborEveryone is different, because of how everyone deals with pain, so there isn't any steadfast rule. My own personal experience...It felt like tightening up your fist and then releasing it, but it was your stomach muscles obviously, not your fist. That's what I felt. Braxton Hicks are not painful, but they do feel like the person above said. Or perhaps if you put your hand on your man's bicep as he tightens it. They gradually become more co-ordinated and uncomfortable and morph into labor contractions.What they felt like to me, was a very painful period. O couldn't get past the pain and nervousness to feel any abdominal tightening or anything like that, but everyone is different....I am 27 weeks now and experienced my first Braxton Hicks contraction last night. I really freaked out because I didnt know what was happening. I thought i was going into premature labor or worse... But then the pain went away as suddenly as it started. First thing in the morning i called my doctor and he assured me that all was well. SO if you experience something that feels like you are having a very painful period and there are no signs of blood or watery discharge then you are probably having one of these lovely "dress rehearsals" for labor...ENJOY!Everyone feels things differently, but for me when I had Braxton Hicks contractions, by belly tightened and went rock hard for about 30 seconds and felt quite uncomfortable, then stopped, this would happen for ten minutes or so and then stop. I started noticing them from about the 20th week of my pregnancy right up until I had my baby. They are uncomfortable, but it's good to know everything is working as it should be!
What can you do when you are having a Braxton Hicks to help the pain and discomfort?
I found a warm bath really helped me. I had also borrowd a tens machine off a friend and i used to put a hot flannel on my stomach.

What does it mean when a woman is 4 cm dilated with back pain?
These could either be early signs of labour, or they could simply be signs of a condition called braxton hicks, or false labour. Make an appointment with your ob for asap, and if the pain gets worse, your dilation increases or your water breaks, head for the hospital- you're going to be a mommy! Congrats on the baby!
