What kind of tightness? Do you mean like the skin? It may just be starting to stretch. Or do you mean inside of you- like your uterus? But that is also growing. And all your organs are moving around to make room for baby. If you're really worried, especially if it's painful, I would suggest to call your doctor. But I would probably say it is just your growing baby and belly.

its not painful just very uncomfortable it feels as the skin is tight but then my belly goes a bit harder at night

it sounds like it could be braxton hicks. drink lots and lots of water & if you already are then drink even more!

definatly Braxton Hicks (sp?) and perfectly normal. unless a complanied by blood, or a gush of fluid or even a continuous trickle which could be amniotic fluid. BH is just your body's way of getting you ready for the big event!! good luck and i hope you get some relief soon!
