contraction question

I have been having contractions (not just BH, but more like period cramps that have gradually included pain in sides and back) for two days now. They start as cramps with the tightening and move to include back pain and side pain. They stopped after almost 4 hours of being 3-5 mins apart last night and today has been more of the same. They're not overly painful just enough to be uncomfortable at this point. Anyone have anything similar and know how to keep them coming / increase intensity?? Should I call Dr / go get checked?? I'm 39 weeks tomorrow and last I knew (last Tuesday) I was almost completely thinned and at little over 2 cm (not enough to call it 3) dilated.
