well if they're still happening I would say they're either braxton hicks or your in pre-labour, even with early labour they should be getting abit closer together and stronger...

you may be in the early stages of labour, if your having pains every hour and your 37 + weeks, its best to do  most of your labouring at home, especially early on, I would wait until they're about 20-30 min apart and quite uncomfortable, then ring the hospital and see what they want you to do :)
