braxton hicks contractions or the real deal? 37 weeks pregnant

had a very bad tightening pain in belly lasting a few seconds but back to back maybe like a minute apart for maybe 15 minutes straight but now has stopped. could this be the real deal and just stopped & will start back up? or was it just braxton hicks contractions? also had lower back pain with it but also went away too
