Congratulations on your baby!

always double check with your doctor or care provider...but this is common. It shouldn't be an incapacitating pain-- that would likely be something else. The round ligaments that attach to your uterus start to stretch and relax in response to new hormones in your body. For some women, these twinges are the first sign of pregnancy. (It was for me.) As you get bigger, you will need to sit up in a more sideways way. I roll over to my side, and then push up with hands to get up.

A good book is Pregnancy Childbirth and the Newborn, by Simkin and others. It gives you lots of info as to what else to expect!

Eat well and take care!
