How do I know I'm in active labor??

I've had BH since a couple of days, but since this morning they dont ever go away, I even took a nap and nothing. They have only gotten worse. Since 30 minutes ago I feel like a have to go to the bathroom badly, but nothing comes out!! I took a shower and its like PMS!! I already lost my mucous plug days ago and had been having my brownish discharge.

Im lying on my left side and i keep having this horrible throbbing, shooting pains down my right leg, its horrible!! They fade and come back. I still feel my stomach super hard.

What should I do?? ( I'm all by myself here..) hubby's at work and don't wanna call him for it to be a false alarm.

You need to get to the hospital, you maybe in labor, you don't want to take the risk! Or call your doctor just to make sure of what to do! Good luck
