Contractions???

The last two nights I’ve been waking up to intense pain in my abdomen and lower back, the pain lasts a few minutes and then subsides. I’ve tried timing these pains and they are irregular. Last night I also had intense rectal/vaginal pressure.

After a few hours these pains will subside.

I am a first time mom and don’t know what these are 🤷🏻‍♀️
