I would go ahead and call your doctor.  They will send you to L&D for observation.  Sounds like labor to me.  You could also be dehydrated so even if they send you home, they will most likely hook you up to an IV for some fluids first.

Try laying on your left side and drink water for an hour and if that doesn't help call your OB and let them know. That's the first thing they would tell you to do. Good luck!
