Sorry that I'm posting again.. last one till tomorrow..lol
Lastnight I was in bed sleeping, and then my stomach started to get real hard, with some pain.. very little pain, and then my stomach got soft and it kept doing that for about 20 minutes?
What was that? or what is it??
Do I need to call my doctor??

sounds like contractions... braxton hicks probablly, but still, never hurts to get it checked by your OB in case you are progressing

Completely normal!  Usually they start becoming noticeable around week 20 but they start alot earlier than that...  I am not sure on the exact week but I want to say it is 6 weeks...  I didn't get to feel mine infact when I went into labor last week (caused from UTI) I did not even know I was having really strong (real labor) contractions...  Something about me is out of tune with my body I guess.  They should not be painful though and you might want to time them to be sure that you are not going into premature labor.  Good luck

no no no, you're not having the REAL contractions, like you're ready to give birth. these are "practice ones" your baby is also growing and needs more room to do so. of course you are going to feel that tightening, cramps, contracting right now. this is all normal. your baby is not ready to come out just yet. like most said...braxton hicks. look it up and read what it says.
