Answer

I've had painful braxton hicks, but they always eased up and went away when i rested and drank water. If they're painful and not going away once you start resting then they very well could be real contractions.

Answer

From personal experience they're real contractions but you may not be in active labor until they are arrhythmic. Use the 5-1-1 rule.
