40wks+2days maybe contractions??

Micha
I've been having consistent contractions all morning but they don't hurt at all, they feel like really strong period cramps in my back and lower belly but I can feel and see my belly harden. The last time I had my cervix checked was at 37wks and it wasn't even close to a one, I don't want to go to the hospital until I know for sure that I'm in actual labor. Can I be in labor and having contractions without them being super painful?
