Sounds like braxton hicks which are practice contractions. However if they really are strong and painful I'd start timing them to see if they have a pattern and also if the pain gets stronger. Then this can be signs of labour starting. I wouldn't wait till Thursday if this is the case. Id phone your midwife x
