What Causes Painful Contractions During 38 Weeks Of Pregnancy?

Hi, I am 38 weeks pregnant with my 2nd child. With my first I had to be induced, never had contractions or Braxton hicks. But I just started having some pain and what feels like contractions. They are every 15 minutes apart and last for about a minute. I have tried walking and drinking water and laying down, but it doesn t seem to go away. Am I in labor? Or is it just false labor?? Help. Please.
