Were these contractions?

I'm 39 weeks today in a super straight forward pregnancy. Only odd thing so far is no braxton hicks at all. That I've noticed anyway.

Last night I went for a longish walk then an hour later started getting achey period-like aims that came and went fit a couple of hours until I gave up fretting and freaking out my DH and went to sleep. This morning nothing.

We're these contractions? Should I be worried? Thought it would be obvious when labour started but these have confused me. No show or waters or anything. I know first babies are normally late but me and siblings were all on time or early so now I'm wondering ...

I'm 35+3 and I've never felt Brixton hicks either which is puzzling.
