16 weeks - period like pain

Hi all, I'm 16w5d today. Yesterday I had period-like pain twice for maybe 1 or 2 minutes each time. The second time it was quite strong and I had to lay down. Could these be contractions?? Should I tell my doc about it? What do contractions feel like? Thanks for your advice ladies.
