Contractions /labor

Jasmine

So today I had my 37 weeks appt and I got checked only 1 cm. And thick cervix. Went to dinner and went to Michaels and started getting horrible contractions every few minutes and they were so bad. I started throwing up. I got to the car had one on the 15 minute drive home and than I haven’t had any in 10 minutes. My stomach is so so hard. Could this be happening?
