its a braxton hicks or rather practice contraction, a painless but sometimes uncomfortable tightening of the uterus and surrounding muscles, basically your body preparing itself for labour at the end of pregnancy. Some women get them regular, others not at all but apparently if you have them on a regular basis you can ease this by keeping really hydrated.

Multiple pregnancies usually show earlier.
