am I having braxton hicks

My lower belly and near my hips goes tight and then releases after 2-3 seconds. It doesn't really hurt and it's not happening often but it's happened a few times over the last couple of days

Sounds like BH to me. It's completely normal. However if it happens 4 to 5 times in an hour it's not normal.  Contact your dr though if your worried about it. Also try drinking more water. Sometimes your uterus will contract  if your low on fluids. How far along are you?
