Contractions?

So I'm 38wks and I don't think I've had contractions yet, but this morning I had a very painful cramping in my upper abdomen, and since then I've been having back cramps. Could this be the start or contractions? They aren't consistent yet, just wondering.

If you get really uncomfortable, trust your gut and go get checked out. When I went into labor on the weekend it started as a lot of back pain but I wasn't quite sure, by the time I decided to go and made it to the hospital I was 6cm dilated! So it's hard to tell sometimes
