Contractions help

Jasmin

So I think I’m having contractions they are not close together but I can feel like my tummy tightening and been having pains on the sides and bottom of my stomach going to low back. When contractions comes I feel out of breathe. It’s painful but I can handle it. But in between my baby is moving👶🏻. Is the baby suppose to move between contractions ? Also I’ve had like shooting pain from a lower tummy going to my vag area. I’m guessing it’s part of the contractions?
