Hospital or wait

An

This is my first pregnancy I was 1 cm dialed a few days ago they told me I wasn’t in active labor but with my contractions didn’t mean I wasn’t starting labor anyway yesterday night they got painful and in the middle of the cramping I went to the bathroom and saw I lost my mucus plug and today I’ve been having on and off contractions lately my back pain has been getting very very bad but no stomach pain I’ve had irregular contractions but also I have to get a c section because baby isn’t head down so I’m not sure if I should go in or wait till my contractions are regular and painful
