Braxton hicks at 13 weeks?

Erica
I'm 13 weeks and this morning while I was sleeping I kept getting woken up by a cramping feeling in my lower stomach, right between my hips. After I moved around a bit it would go away, and I would fall back asleep, but then I would wake up again shortly after with the same thing. 
I mentioned it to my friend and she said it could be Braxton hicks, is she right?
