Is this the beginning of PTL?

I am 25 weeks with my 2nd, and on light bedrest due to my baby being so low...feeling lots of movement in my vagina. Anyway, yesterday I had B-Hicks all day long and by nightime, they started to get worse...almost painful going around from my mid section to my back. I felt as if I was going to vomit or have diarrhea...and also dizzy. I never called L&D, hoping they would stop. By 3am I fell asleep..and feel a little better today. I had prelabor with my first but kind of blocked that whole time out of my memory!
I was checked 2 weeks ago and was positive for an amnio leak - last week, I tested negative and my cervix was thick and closed...the doc was happy.
Is this the start or prelabor? Should I have called L&D? I don't know if this is for real or just all in my head...Help! I am so confused and scared!
Thanks!
