Real labor or false labor?

I have no clue what’s going on🤦🏻‍♀️ yesterday I just thought I was having Braxton Hicks but then I noticed they weren’t going away. So I did what I always do I drank two glasses of water and since I was sitting for a while I took a small walk and then went to bed thinking they’d go away when I woke up.... but they didn’t. I’m so confused. I’m not in a ton of pain but my stomach is regularly “contracting” now and I’ve been getting cramps and tailbone pain. I’m only 38+2 and haven’t even lost my mucus plug or anything yet! Has this happened to anyone else? I think it might just be prodromal labor but how do I get it to ease up? I’m a ftm if you can’t tell😂

The “contractions” feel like someone is taking both hands and pushing down really hard on my belly and it’s getting rock hard... like Braxton Hicks but a little worse
