Contractions?

How will I know when I am having contractions? I am a first time mom and I get a really tight feeling in my stomach and it gets hard at times. Then sometimes I get the feeling that my period is going to start like cramping is that normal at 27 weeks (28 tomorrow)

I'm not having these now they come and go. Every once any a while I was just wondering if it was Braxton hicks our actual contractions.
