Braxton Hicks?

This is my first pregnant, and I am 18 weeks 2 days. It feels really tight and then loosens, lasts about 25 seconds, then comes back in 5 minutes or if I drink something. This has lasted the last hour. Are these Braxton Hicks or growing pains? Should I call my doctor? Is my baby ok?
