Thank you for posting your query in healthcaremagic.com...
Well it may be possible that you are in your early labour, though the membranes have not ruptured, nor the baby is completely engaged...but because you are a multigravida, it may not take the same long time as your first pregnancy to progress through stages...
A per-vaginal examination would reveal more at this stage, so I would suggest you to go to your gynaecologist or an emergency care for an examination...following that, the next steps can be taken....
Hope this was useful...
