Are Braxton Hicks contractions supposed to hurt. I've had a few in the last couple of days and they hurt and some were like a cramping in my vaginal area. But they always stop and it's not more than 4 in an hour. But is it normal for them to hurt and feel like cramping?

From the TV shows I've watched, they are just like real contractions with the pain and stuff, but they are different because they are non-productive (not pushing the baby out) and they are irregular in length and the space between them.
I would definitely call your doctor and let them know what's happening, because if it turns out you are in labor, you could have a side-of-the-highway baby.
