Hello
thanks for your query.
I think you are going into preterm labour.
The following are the characteristics of going into labour :
1. Intermittent pains in the lower abdomen radiating to the back and groin
2. Associated hardening of the uterus
3. Passage of mucus plug.
To confirm the diagnosis you need to visit the ER and have an internal check up.
Do not take it lightly
Take care.
