Do braxton Hicks cause pain?

BH's can be uncomfortable but shouldn't be painful. Sounds like very very early labor is getting ready to kick off. Go for a walk, go for several- should help speed things up! When the "real" contractions hit- there will be no mistaking those puppies- you won't be able to talk or walk or do anything other then stop and wait for it to pass. Just keep yourself busy in the meantime- ignore them the best you can until you can't anymore... Best wishes!
