braxton hicks ?

Okay, so I went to bed last night with "gas pains" and then all night seemed to either be having BH or painful round ligament pains and I today it seems slightly better when I am up and moving, but sudden movements (standing up, having to pee) seem to trigger some odd discomfort. I know I should and I most likely will call my OB, but I wanted to know of others experiences with either of these two issues so I might be able to have a better idea what is going on. I am 23 weeks and have had consistent fetal movement. I am working on drinking lots of fluids, but of course a full or barely full bladder doesn't help the situation. Any information would be appreciated. I am seriously terrified on preterm labor after hearing and reading some awful stories!
