I definitely did. I'm given to understand that it's quite normal and can be due to the uterus stretching (especially if it's your first pregnancy). It probably isn't anything to worry about, but if you are worried talk to your GP, midwife or OB (if you have one), especially if you experience severe pain referring up the back and to the shoulder, fever, cramps etc.

Yep, with all 5 of my pregnancies
Your uterus is being flooded with hormones, getting ready to expand, totally normal and I went so far as to take it as a good sign the pregnancy was progressing well :)

I had them throughout my pregnancy. Made me very nervous during the first trimester, but after that, I just accepted it was part of pregnancy. I even had some spotting around 7 weeks and 10 weeks. Freaked me out, but once again, all good. Hope you can relax and enjoy it :)
