18.5 weeks-- uterus tightning

I have checked the archives which only confused me more. I understand that I am too early for Braxton Hicks, so what is this tightning of my uterus? I have been noticing it for 2 weeks, particularly when I am lying down. It is a painless but very distinct cramping and hardening of my uterus that lasts less than a minute. It sometimes happens several times a day, or somtimes not at all (that I notice) for a couple days. It has increased in frequency though.

I would love to hear from a doctor, or for that matter, from any women who have experienced this and know what it is and if its common. I have a doctors Appt. in 2 weeks for an ultrasound. Does this warrent an earlier visit?

Thanks
