  What did your doctor say? If you haven't called them yet, you definitely should.
  
  My OB's rule of thumb for braxton hicks is more than 4 per hour, if I have more than 4 in one hour I'm supposed to call and they'll want to see me.

  Do I just call and ask to talk to my DR or ask the nurse on duty?

  Drink some water and lay on your left side. Might just be Braxton hicks or could be something else. Call your doctor/midwife and see what they recommend.

  I would tell the person who answers what is going on and they will consult with the doctor or nurse and either get them on the phone to talk to you or just tell you to come in.
  
  Make sure you are drinking lots of water!

  I would suggest going to the hospital. Either you call your Dr., call the hospital's labor department and talk with a nurse, or just go to the hospital... But you have to do something to get professional help. Getting advice from the Internet community is a waste of time right now.

  This. I have little doubt that if you call your OB, he/she will tell you to go to L&D to be evaluated and monitored ftom what you're describing. Maybe call your doctor so that they can give the recommendation and let the hospital know you're coming, and then head to the hospital.

  Hope you're feeling better and your Dr was able to see you right away or send you to L&D.
  Take care!

  This happened to me at 28 weeks and they lasted about 4 hours each time. My doctor thinks mine were mild contractions caused by not cutting back/resting and needing to drink more water. I've done both these things and so far so good. They were definitely painful and did not go away by changing positions like Braxton Hicks. Hope you are feeling better!
