think I might be in labor!

So im 37w 6d. Today I had my membranes stripped.  Walked for awhile, came home and used my breast pump, bounced on my yoga ball and took 2 tablespoons of castor oil. started feeling period like cramps and after about an hour turned  into contractions. After a few hours of contractions I started timing them using an app on my phone. They are all lasting about 45 seconds and are either eight, eleven or thirteen minutes apart. i keep doubting this is it, BUT when I am in the midst of a contraction  I feel like this is definitely the start of something. Wish I knew!

Thanks for letting me know that. I was wondering if that meant this couldnt be real labor, but maybe it is! Fingers crossed!
