Can too many braxton hicks at 19 weeks be worrisome (x posted in my ddc)

I woke up last night from a braxton hick that was soooo strong! I felt also like I realllly had to pee (and do remember from my last pregnancy that a full bladder often caused them.

The Braxton hick was sooo intense it was actually kind of hard to pee, but I eventually did (uterus still hard on the way back to bed). I also kept waking up now and then from them last night.

Today I've been having them all day. Almost CONSTANT. Like I have been laying down for the last hour to see if it would help (i read drink water and lie dow) and my ds has now watched two episodes of Dora and the whole time it has almost felt constant. Like my uterus is super tight and then for a few minutes gets even tighter and then lights up a little but never goes all the way back to normal...

what do you think?? Should I call? They do NOT hurt like REAL contractions in the sense of not being able to talk/doubling over etc. But they are super intenste (having an intense moment right now) and feels like someone is squeeeeezing my whole uterus suuuuuper hard.

If you have 4 or more in an hour I'd definitely call. Contractions can dilate the cervix, even if they don't hurt and its better to be on the safe side this early.
