Are these contractions ?

I am due today and have been having these gnarly cramps the past two days. they hurt to the point they put my into tears. my belly gets hard like a braxton hick but i have a sharp pain in my lower belly that gets more intense as the contraction goes on. i read that the pain radiates from the top to bottom or from the back to front. i was 4 cm at my 39 week appointment and have been losing bloody pieces of my plug since yesterday night. i’m getting induced tomorrow morning and would like for baby to wait a bit longer :,)
