contractions or not?

I don't know what I'm feeling right now. My stomach keeps tightening up but I can't tell if its my son pressing against it... And I keep getting cramps in my back but they aren't extremely painful like everyone explains them to be.  I am 39w & 4 days, what should I be looking for?
