Ongoing contractions? braxton hicks?

Hi ladies. I'm a BTDT mom so I should know the answer to this but I don't. This pregnancy is totally different from the first one. I am 37 weeks and 5 days pregnant. I have a scheduled c-section so no doctor has checked me for any progress despite me saying that I keep getting contractions. This week was very stressful at work and worked more than 40 hrs. Today, since about 3pm I started having what I thought were braxton hick contractions.......the stomach hardens but no pain. The problem is that it is 8pm and they have not stopped! They are constant and now I am starting to have pain in lower abdomen and some mild back pain. I just wanted to know if any of you have experienced something like this.  Thanks!
