am i feeling contractions?

I'm a FTM due next monday.  Today i took a walk about 4 blocks to and from.  Ever since i have been feeling a constant stomach pain about every 20 minutes. Although my stomach does get really hard towards the top,  the pains are not what i thought contractions would feel like.  Should i go to the hospital?

4 or more in one hour needs medical attention. Every 20 minutes is not consistent enough and probably just braxton hicks. Lay on ur left side and drink lots of water to see if they ease up.
