Start of real contractions? Thoughts?

**sorry for the long post**🤦🏻‍♀️

I started feeling some contractions around midnight but didnt start timing them until 2am. I have been experiencing moderate to strong menstrual cramping along with back cramping and uterus tightening. Also pelvic and rectum pressure as well. And its hard to breathe through one. What do you ladies think? Early onset of labor contractions or intense Braxton hicks (I've never experienced cramping with my b/h before and these feel different)

Bottom picture is the first one.

Circled because these were together

I took a bath about an hour before these came on to prevent b/h and then drink 2 bottles of water between 12-1 to try to stop them. Also have been laying on my left side.

What do you all think? I'm kind of in disbelief right now. Still having them anywhere between 6 min to 20 min apart.

Thanks for any insight or experience you can share with me.
