early labor?

Tykia
My doctor says in I'm early labor, for the past week I've been experiencing contractions that feel so painful and tight I can barely walk through them, my vagina feel extremely sore and like my pelvic could break any min... the baby balls up a lot now and it's very uncomfortable... when did you say enough is enough and knew it was labor time? And how did you dilate? I walk a lot and squat .
