Contraction or not?

Hello all. im 37 weeks now. today feel pain/sharp pain at my lower abdomen area, especially after i move about slowly. Also when baby moves, my tummy will feel tight/conraction feeling. I will also feel like I want to poop. Is this contraction or just my uterus expanding? Not too sure what am i feeling but its quite uncomfortable. I also feel a dull aching pain at my lower back.

37 weeks are considered full term already. Does the pain comes and go? Real contractions will get stronger and stronger... the pain is too painful and that's when you know that you need to go to the hospital asap.

The pain does not come regularly and the interval is not too short. so im not sure if its braxton hicks.
