Labor?! (FTM)

I started having horrible horrible cramps about 2 hours ago but they weren't consistent so I just thought they were braxton hicks. However, the last two or three contractions have been about 5 minutes apart. I can't say for sure between the first and second, but I noticed because it stopped and I felt relieved but i got a even stronger contraction about 5-8 minutes later. Am I in labor?

You can download an app for measuring contractions. Easiest way. Just press start when they start and stop when they stop. It will then tell you how far apart they are  so that you can keep track if they get worse :)
