contractions?

This morning I was woken up by a weird painful feeling..like it starts on top of my uterus feeling like squeezing and it moved to the bottom and at the end i felt a sharp pain in my cervix...the only way I can explain it was it felt like my uterus was a tooth paste tube and it was getting squeezed to push the tooth paste out! Anyone else know what this is exactly?

Sounds like contractions to me... but if they are you should feel it a lot. And they should get closer together.  You need to time them. How far apart each on is from the other and how long it lasts... could also be practice contractions, or just your cervix stretching. How far along are you?
