When to go to the hospital? FTM

I'm due in 10 days 1.5cm dilated and 60% effaced I'm have sharp pains in my belly and my lower back in aching and giving out when I walk sometimes. I lost my plug a few days ago but no blood. No water breaking. I'd hate to go to the hospital to be sent home. My contractions are inconsistent 😔 what should I do?
