is this the onset of labor? should I call dr?

Dani
Okay so since 4am I have been extremely uncomfortable. I am having menstrual like cramping and lower back pain. Occasional contractions at the top of my uterus. I am a first time mom so I'm unsure if this is normal for 38 weeks. Should I call the on call doctor?
