Braxton hicks: Braxton Hicks contractions can begin as early as the second trimester. However they are most commonly experienced in the third trimester. When this happens, the muscles of the uterus tighten for approximately 30 to 60 seconds and sometimes as long as two minutes. However you should consult your obstetrician to make sure that there is no other cause.

Uterine spasm: unless associated with severe bleeding and passage of clots: certainly call and consult your OB-GYN.
