Contractions?

I need help deciphering whether or not these are actually contractions.

First I was get a really sharp pain that curves around the right side of my belly, Then my who stomach gets hard and the pain shoots to my lower back.  I really don't get pain on the left at all.  Is that a contraction?  They are no where near regular, so I'm not questioning going to L&D if they are.  Just curious so I know what I'm looking for, and if they aren't contractions...I may be calling my doc.

Thanks for your help!

    May be Braxton Hicks.

    if your entire uterus is hard, then my guess is yes, its a contraction. The pain on one side could just be the position of the baby.
    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml

    Yes it sounds like contractions.  They can focus on one side only.  Try laying on your otherside.  But since they arent regular it is probably just false labor.
