Braxton Hicks start in from like lig pain. Contractions often r in back and much more severe in pain. 2.5 mins is labor.

Sound more like labor to me than braxton hicks but you should know soon if its true labor because they'll get more intense.

Try walking and taking a bath. If they don't ease off and continue to get worse then they are probably going to progress into labor.  Good luck!
