Minor Contractions

I've started getting minor contractions throughout my day. Only a few, nothing to worry about. Everyone says that what I'm having is normal... a while back they were referred to as Braxton Hicks contractions and its basically just my body practicing for what it'll need to do in a few weeks (10 to be exact). Basically, my belly gets tight in a few spots. When it first started happening, I thought it was just the baby pushing out but when I would rub the spot, it wouldn't move. The baby moves when you rub where it is... Sooooo... we determined its a contraction. 

Again, these are normal. I go back to the OB on the 19th of this month. After that, I start going every 2 weeks. We'll see what happens! It's getting close!
