SO Frustrating!!

I woke up in the middle of the night with menstrual like contractions. I was kind of able to sleep through them though. My MIL is in town and when I got up she told me to start timing them. So I did and they were about 5 minutes apart. I waited until like 4 PM and the pain was so bad, me and DH went into Labor and Delivery. The nurse told me I was only 1-2 cm dilated and sent me home saying I wasn't in active labor yet. However the contractions have still not stopped, they are still 5 min or less apart and still VERY painful! I don't know when I am supposed to go back! If this isn't active labor, I don't know what it is! Plus I have been having non stop contractions ever since I woke up and it is now 8 PM. I don't know what to do! I am in so much pain! I am also Strep B positive, so I need antibiotics for 4 hours before I deliver, so I am scared of waiting too long. But I don't want to go back in there for them to just look at me dumb and be like we told you that you weren't in active labor. Please help!!
