Lightening crotch with contractions

🩷R

I have been having lightening crotch bad with each contraction and baby still moves but I know it’s a contractions. Heck I didn’t know babies still move during contractions.

It’s been happening for like 2 hours now every 5 to 6 mins , when should I expect them to get worse? Because it sure does feel like the real deal. I also have a doc appt today so I’m asking then too.
