Contractions real or not?

I’m 38weeks 4 days. Since about 10pm I been having contractions, they aren’t painful more like a dull cramp but my stomach is getting hard. It’s been consistent since then. I also feel pressure in my pelvis when I have that and baby starts moving frantically. I’m gonna wait it out till the morning since its about 3am here and I’m not in any serious pain. I was told when I called the nurse hotline that even if there not painful to go when they get closer together. Any advice??
