Labor starting?

L

Last night I started to feel like I was going to start my period. It’s been coming in waves, and it feels like my stomach is tightening a little. I haven’t bothered timing them because it’s not really painful, just uncomfortable, and I was able to fall asleep through them.

I’m FTM and 38w1d

Does this sound like labor is starting or am I just experiencing more Braxton Hicks?

I know the only way to know for sure is to go to the dr. But I’m trying to avoid jumping the gun.
