already a mom?! please help answer my labor question!

I think I'm in pre labor/early labor?? Please help!
So today is my due date and I did have acupuncture earlier... But I'm consistently having lower back pressure/pain every seven minutes or so... It doesn't really radiate to my front it is just consistently lower back... Is that a contraction? They are definitely uncomfortable but not like screaming bad... I am a ftm and don't really know what to expect and I have a pretty large pain tolerance naturally..

Is this what I should be expecting?

If it comes in a pattern, that is labor or pre labor.

Not everyone is the same. But if your feeling anything lower back or lower abdomen. You to call the doctor. Plus think about getting to a hospital. You don't want to wait till you get 5 minutes apart.
