Am I in labor or false labor?!?

I am almost 38 weeks pregnant. I had several bowel movemnts today like 7-8 and had some uncomfortable contractions that subsided. Then around 9pm before I went to bed I am guessing I lost my mucus plug it was a snot like discharge that came out in a glob( sorry for too much info) I woke up around 2am feeling uncomfortable with a rock hard tummy. having some period like cramps. So I took a warm bath to see if the contractions, cleaned my house a bit and then sat down to start timing contractions. I dont feel like I'm in a lot of pain so i'm worried whether or not i'm in labor or just false labor?!?!

first contraction I started timing

3:14

3:19

    Best to go ahead and go to the hospital just in case.

    Sounds like labor. But babies can be real jokesters. Go to the hospital just to be sure
