What do contractions feel like?

Question

I'm 36w and all day today I have been getting the worse cramping feelings in my lower abdomin. Feels like period cramps, but  sometimes going around to my back. Baby hasn't really been moving today, but the cramps aren't really getting too bad. 
Are these contractions? I don't know if I should go to L&D or not 😕

Answer

I have had the same thing most of the day. I drank some water and I'm taking a warm bath. Just going to see how I feel after. They aren't really terribly painful, maybe a little more than a normal period cramp for me.

Answer

I would go just to get check up! I'm 35 weeks and ended in l&d for contractions that felt like period cramps and I didn't think it was contractions!
