Answer
These very well could be signs of impending labor. Sometimes, a dog will exhibit these signs 24-48 hours before labor actually begins. You may want to try to feed her more frequent, smaller meals during the day. That may help with the vomiting. Since you said she's also vomiting her water up, I would put a call in to the vet. If she continues this, a vet trip may be in order, just to make sure everything's ok. You don't want her to get dehydrated. Good luck!
