When should I go to the hospital?

Michelle

I can’t sleep, I woke up with really bad cramping. My mucus plug came out yesterday, and all day I had been having cramps. Until night time they felt a little stronger. But I just woke up with pain, but it just feels like really heavy period cramps. Idk if this is the real thing, I have to breath in and out to try to ease it. Everyone keeps telling me I gotta be in intense pain to go to the hospital.

Help :(
