Hello
Thanks for your query.
the symptoms you are describing are definitely those of imminent labour.
Cramps, intermittent pains radiating from the lower abdomen to the back and hardening of the uterus are signs of labour.
Discharge of the mucus plug is an added sign.
Since you are only 33 weeks pregnant, please visit the ER in order to diagnose and prevent preterm labour.
Take care.
