Help! Labor??

Emily

I've had Braxton Hicks like crazy for a while now. At my appt today I was 3 cm dilated and she messed around a bit to maybe help things get started. So I'm laying in bed and I'm having what I'm guessing are contractions? they feel different from BH. It feels like period cramping. Happening about every 3 minutes. Is this real labor or no?
