Signs of Early Labor? How do I know?

Aleia-Lauren • We've been married almost 8 months and we are expecting our first baby!
I really need this little girl to come out. 
I know her due date is 8/4 ;
But I'm in so much pain. 
Early labor? Who knows. 
Unable to eat. Unable to drink. Unable to sleep. Constant sharp pains in my belly followed by contractions but not close enough to be admitted. 
I am scheduled to deliver with midwives with a water birth naturally and drug free. 
At this point I just want to have a C Section because I am in so much pain and get it over with to see my baby. 
Is this how early labor was for y'all? 
I need someone to ease my mind who's been through this.
