37+5... is it the start of labor?

I’m having a lot of pressure and pretty consistent Braxton Hicks that cause discomfort but not necessarily pain. Last night my groin/pelvic area was really sore and I thought I might’ve had my first contraction but it only happened once.

Obviously I know if it gets intense to call my doctor, but I live an hour from the hospital and don’t want to make that drive if what I’m feeling is just normal
