FTM help pls ‼️‼️

Hi girls 😁 I’m currently 38 + 1 weeks pregnant & obv I’m a ftm. On Friday I was told I lost my mucus plug but however, I still have mucus like discharge coming out. Since last night I’ve been having really intense Braxton Hicks & they’re like 6-8 min apart lasting around 30 sec and sometimes a little bit more. My stomach gets super tight & it goes all the way to my lower back. Idk if this is normal or if I should go to the hospital just to be sure. I’ve tried taking a bath, changing positions & drinking water & it doesn’t go away. Any advice or suggestions? Thank you in advance ❤️❤️
