When to start timing contractions?

Colleen

39 weeks today and woke up with cramping and belly tightening pretty frequently, with mild lower back pain every so often. Also getting a lot of downward pressure. The contractions arent really painful so I don’t know if they’re real, I’ve been drinking water, went for a short walk, and bouncing on my ball and they’re still coming. Should I start timing them?
