Are these contractions?

Does labor ever start out with painless contractions? My whole stomach keeps tightening but it doesn't hurt.  I'll be 38 weeks tomorrow

My friend just had a baby three weeks ago and said her water broke and she had painless contractions for about three hours before feeling any pain at all!
