You should probably see your OB. It may be as simple as dehydration. The slightest stimulation can cause the uterus to contract (note: this does not necessarily mean going into labor which is defined at uterine contractions with cervical change.) But more serious conditions can cause these cramps such as a urinary tract infection, uterine infection, preterm labor or placental bleeding.

Not to alarm you but do get this checked out by your OB.
