Are these true labor contractions or false labor?


I am 35 weeks 2 days and I have been having contractions basically non stop for 17 hours now. They started at 9 last night and I slept through them but they have not stopped yet. They were somewhat regular at first, happening every 5-8 minutes and varying in intensity. This morning they were relatively intense and came about every 4-6 minutes. Since then they have calmed down, they still vary in intensity but they do not seem to be increasing in regularity or intensity. They feel like period cramps and occasionally I have to stop what I'm doing and breathe through them. Has anyone else experienced this? I haven't called my doctor yet because I don't want to be an alarmist and logic says these are not true labor pains, but I am getting a little worried. Can anyone please help?
