I agree with the first response.  Could be Braxton Hicks. Try drinking some water and lay down to rest for a while. If the tightening continues, even without pain, you need to call your doctor.

Could just be Braxton hicks. Drink a big glass of water. Dehydration can cause premature labor. Lay down or change positions. Maybe take a warm bath. Of they are still happening, call your doc.
