Belly hard but no cramps

My wife is in her 38 week, dilation 1cm. However her belly gets hard at times but no feeling of cramp. Is that considered real contraction? Cause Braxton Hicks wont cause dilation right?

That's braxton hicks. Contractions is painful and will not go away no matter what she do ie change position etc. Tell her to walk more, do squats. Helps to dilate.
