Hi, I have gone though your question. Continuous lower abdominal pain at 26 weeks of pregnancy can be due to urinary tract infection, stretching of the ligaments or any cause unrelated to pregnancy. Braxton hicks contractions are intermittent, not continuous and are not painful.
I would suggest you to consult with your OBGYN specialist and get appropriate investigations get treated accordingly.
