Default Hesitation Problem Just Started

Hey everyone. All of a sudden my car seems to hesitate a bit under acceleration at lower rpm's. For instance after shifting into gear (when the rpm's are low) and i accelerate i can kind of feel and hear the car hesitate over and over as i give it gas until i get into higher rpm's. Once I'm in the higher rpm range, the hesitation stops. Another example is that when I'm on the highway in 3rd gear (my top gear) going 65 there's no hesitation when i'm on the gas, but if i slow down to 55 in the same gear (rpm's are now lower) i can feel the hesitation when i give it gas. Also, when i'm sitting at idle, the car appears to be rocking side to side a bit more than usual. that could be my imagination but i'm pretty sure it started at the same time as when the hesitation started. When I'm coasting the car runs just fine. The best explanation I can give for the "hesitation" i'm experiencing is it kinda makes you rock forward and back in your seat as you're accelerating. Anyone know what my problem might be? I'm a little worried to drive it right now...
