What Is The Cause For Frequent Braxton Hicks Contractions During 35 Weeks?

i'm 35 weeks pregnant and my belly has been getting super tight on and off all day. i've been having braxton hicks contractions for a couple weeks now, but never this often or lasting as long as these do. they aren't painful, just really uncomfortable and make it hard to breathe.
