i'm 22wks with no.2 and i get this quite a lot. Sometimes if i've been crouching for too long and i have to stay bent double until it passes. On the other hand it could be braxton hicks practice contractions.
If it carries on frequently and gets more intense then you could be going into labour. If you're worried phone your midwife.

i had it last night at 2am for about an hour but it was quite continous, then stopped and i had it for an hour this morning now stopped again, maybe its braxton hicks as you said, can you get that this early?

You would definitely get braxton hicks at this stage. Braxton hicks actually start at about 6 weeks although you won't be able to feel them that early. Most women who get them start feeling them between months 5 to 7. Sounds like this is what you felt but it's best to call your midwife just to be sure, so you don't worry. I would not be concerned at all though, sounds like braxton hicks to me.
