Early labor symptoms? Please tell me what you think.

I woke up at 4 this morning with diarrhea and vomiting. I had been restless all night and my body hurts. Watched some tv and sipped some club soda. More diarrhea and more vomiting around 7am. I was having lots of contractions and terrible cramps. Called the doctor around 10:15, and they told me the cramps are contractions (FTM here 😳) and I need to time them and call back in an hour. Well contractions are over a minute long and less than 5 minutes apart. But I can breathe and talk through them. Doc says to hold off coming in until I’m having trouble talking and breathing through the pain. After that, contractions start slowing down and getting farther apart. I decide to eat a piece of bread and have a couple of sips of coffee. Threw up again at 1:00. Contractions are spaced out with lots of pressure and pain (like my uterus muscles are sore from contracting).

Now it’s 9pm, trying to go to sleep, still can’t eat anything (I tried pretzels and threw them up) and contractions every half hour or so.

Thoughts? Is this early labor? False labor? Just a blip? So far no bloody show or mucus plug.

Thank you for any help you can offer.
