Is it really just braxton hicks?

I am 36 weeks pregnant. I went to the hospital because I was having intense contractions since 3 am and the day before I also had an intense pain in my stomach that lasted 30 minutes and was intense enough to make me throw up. The "contractions" I was having this morning, from 3 am to 8 am it was a constant, horribly painful menstrual cramp feeling and then from 8am on it started to fade and come back like contractions are supposed to. Also, the entire time my stomach was hard. The nurse suggested that I might be having preterm constactions because of dehydration but my actual doctor said it was just Braxton Hicks. Could that really be all it was? I didn't think braxton hicks was supposed to be so painful.. Not to mention, I tried everything to get the pains to subside and nothing would help. I just cant bring myself to believe what the doctor said... Do you think its really just braxton hicks?
