contractions and when to go in

So my contractions have gone from 6 min apart to 2 min apart but just feel like bad back pressure, stomach tightening, and bad period cramps in the front. I can still talk through them but can't walk through them. Dd is today. Should I go in? This has been going on for almost two hours.

Awww congrats!
My doctor's team says to go in when the beginning of each contraction is five minutes apart for one hour.
Hope everything went smoothly :)
