FTM... how do I know real contractions?!

I feel silly. I’ve been having pretty consistent pains for over 2 hours. It’s timeable and hasn’t died down with walking, eating, moving around etc. I seriously don’t want to wake everyone up to go to the hospital at 1am if this is say gas pain or false labor 😫

Think I should give it like another hour and if it doesn’t die down then go in? I have an OB appt in the morning... of course.
