Cramping and back pain, advice?

I'm 26 weeks and 5 days. I've always had mild cramps in my pregnancy but today they started getting a little more noticeable, they aren't really painful, but they are annoying and uncomfortable since they come and go. Besides that my back has been hurting a little more than usual, I've always dealt with back pain and bad sciatic pain during my pregnancy but today is has been consistent.
Any advice? My next doctor appointment isn't until next Friday.

Time the cramps. Sometimes contractions feel like cramps. If they are 5 minutes apart for a while go to the hospital. Better safe then sorry.
