Possible labor: if your contractions or cramps are regular and persist. Start timing them. False labor will start and stop. If cramps are consistently 5 minutes apart or closer, contact your midwife or follow the plan you already discussed.

Probably early labor: These can be signs of early labor. Rest if you can as labor can take many hours and the more well rested you are the better. Best of luck and congrats!
