Could be UTI: Increased frequency of urination often means you have a uti. I would see your doctor asap to get treated. Uti (after dehydration) is the #2 cause for preterm contractions/cramping, which it sounds like you have. I would see a doctor asap to get treated. You can always go to l&d on the weekend and they can help you as well.

Very normal: With the uterus pushing on your bladder, you will have more frequent urination and pelvic pressure. It is normal.
