I went into the hospital at 10 last night to get checked due to having contractions all day and they started to get more painful and were about 7-10 minutes apart. They checked me and I was still 1cm. It’s now 4:30 am and I haven’t even been able to shut my eyes due to contractions. The contractions are unbearable. I’ve tried everything to soothe the pain. The contractions are now 3-4 minutes apart and the worst pain I’ve ever felt. How do I know when to go to the hospital!? They won’t admit me until I’m 4cm or my water breaks but I’m so scared that I’ll wait too long

I’m 40 weeks and one day
