Braxton-Hicks?: If this "tightening" is not very frequent and only occasional during the day this may be what is called Braxton Hicks contractions. These happen normally a few weeks before the actual due date. If those contractions happen every 5-10 mins apart it is time to see your OB or go to the ED ASAP.
