contractions

Okay so I was having contractions yesterday but I assumed it was braxton Hicks because they were like 7 or 8 mins apart lasting about 5 mins and im having them again but they feel a little closer together but they aren't lasting long at all so those are also braxton right?

I'd go ahead and call your Dr. Just to be on the safe side...you could be experiencing preterm labor but I'm not sure :/
