Don't think I'm in labor but holy cow

So lately I've been getting more and more contractions that aren't consistent or anything, so I know it's not labor yet, but sometimes they cause the worst pain in my back/groin/right hip and or butthole (yes butthole!). I get one everytime I lay down in bed and the pain shoots from my middle lower back down into my butthole. Are these normal pre labor pains ? I'm almost 38 weeks. Holy cow they make me scream 😳😳😳
