Advice?

Story time: yesterday morning I woke up to my stomach feeling extremely tight and pain beginning from my lower back then making its way to my groin area. I didn’t pay attention to it because it was tolerable and I was still able to go about my day. After a few hours of ignoring the “pain” I finally tell my husband that I’ve been having those pains. He thought nothing of it either so I left it at that, and our day continued. Went to help my aunt decorate for a graduation party for about two hours (the decor was made by me so I had to set up because I’m picky). Still feeling pains and getting a bit stronger but not intolerable. Fast forward to the party and I’m IN PAIN. I couldn’t sit or stand in anyway to be comfortable. I leave the party around 10:30 and I start getting a hospital bag ready. Now they’re stronger. Finally we decide that I should go to the hospital because at this point I’m crying from the pain. We get to hospital only to be told that they will stop my contractions and send me home, and only go back if they come back WORSE. No mucus plug or blood has come out of me nor has my water broke. I was only dialated 1cm. At this point I’m like why me!!? So home we go... pains are back as soon as we get home. I used the restroom a while and have blood and my panties has parts of my mucus plug. Pains are progressing just like yesterday. Should I wait longer to go back to the hospital or go back because I’ve already had blood?? Please give me some advice! What would you do?
