Sounds like they could be regular contractions if they are lasting that long and are that painful!  But, unless they are coming on a regular basis your not in labor quite yet :( the good news is that they should be helping your cervix dilate! Mention it to your doctor at your next appt and have them check you, you should have made some progress! *fingers crossed*

they last like a minute and then dont get them for like 20 mins. but they hurt like hell!!!

My contractions start as sort of like period pains. It's weird because I can always tell right before they come, even with BH contractions. It feels like a wave coming over my tummy. Then a deep, intense, strong period like pain that makes your tummy hard as a rock. BH contractions only last a few seconds but real contractions last close to a minute and they are much stronger. Hope this helps, good luck!
