Braxton hicks? Or real contractions?

Brittany
So i have been up for almost 2 hours now with some kind of contractions. They are not consistent in intensity, but are fairly consistent in time. And are happening every 5 to 6 minutes. They only last for about 15 seconds though. I was fine and was asleep on my couch, and then i woke up and felt like i had to poop, so i did. And then right after that they started. Not sure if i should be panicking yet or not...
