contractions?

Andi
FTM and I cant tell if what I'm feeling are contractions or not. I'm due in 9 days. I had a cervical check yesterday and have not started dilating. 
I feel a lot of pressure on my vagina and anus with tightening in my abdomen, lasting about 30 seconds or so, sometimes hurting enough to where I stop what I'm doing and breathe through it. I've only timed it a couple times and they were about 10-12 minutes apart. The baby is still moving as much as normal. Is this just movement and pressure, or is it contractions?
