Contractions

So I have been in labor and am dilated at a two. Yesterday I was having back labor and went to the hospital. It wasn’t close enough together so they sent me home. From 4 am I was having contractions and back labor like what I’m used to. It was consistent but stopped at 8 am. I’m now having pelvic and hip pain that feels really dull and consistent but it’s like I was hit by a car.. are these a form of contraction pains or just normal pregnancy pains? Just want to be informed in what’s going on and am hesitant to go back into hospital bc I don’t want to be turned to go back home again. Thanks guys
