I just moved out a few months ago from a house with a 6 month old in it, that I had lived in through the woman's pregnancy...
If she did something too strenuous for her level of pregnancy (ie lifting something too heavy, right down to vaccumning) then she would get pains that resemble contractions. This started at only about 6 months, and it freaked everybody out the first time it happened, but the doctors soon reassured us all that she just needed to be more careful, as her pregnancy was getting more advanced & that contraction-like symptoms were very normal, if she was doing things she shouldn't be doing (which she tended to do... lol)
What I learned is that contractions will start early yeah, especially as the baby gets bigger & starts moving around a lot more... but not to worry until the contractions get really close together. With the woman I was living with, her water broke & her contractions were 2 min apart....
...18 hours later, she still hadn't dilated enough to deliver, so they gave her a c-section.
I do hope that is all it is Jim, and that your daughter & little one are both okay. Is this her first pregnancy????
