Its when I urinate, it only happens at night, and it only happens the first time. Subsequent times are fine. It doesn't burn like a bladder infecting. Any idea what it might be.

CONGRATS ON YOUR LITTLE BUNDLE OF KICKBOXING FUN!
What you are most likely experiancing is round ligament pain. it is normal and common. The pain is like on your sides of your tummy around the bottom area right? sometimes dull. sometimes sharp? if so it is round ligament pain. it happens to me at night mostly too because i have been resting and my body has had time to go into 'sleep mode'.
The round ligaments surround your uterus in your pelvis. As your uterus grows during pregnancy, the ligaments stretch and thicken to accommodate and support it. These changes can occasionally cause pain on one or both sides of your abdomen. its just a reminder that we cant get up and go as quick as we used to. ;)
The sharp, jabbing type of round ligament pain shouldn't last longer than the few seconds in which you're changing position or getting up. Don't hesitate to call your caregiver any time abdominal aches or pains continue after a short rest or are accompanied by:
• Severe pain or cramping, or more than four contractions in an hour (even if they don't hurt)
• Low back pain, especially if you didn't previously have back pain, or an increase in pressure in the pelvic area (a feeling that your baby is pushing down)
• Bleeding, spotting, or a change in the type or amount of vaginal discharge
• Fever, chills, faintness, or nausea and vomiting
• Pain or burning when you urinate
When feeling these pains you can try to sit down and try to relax when the pain strikes. Resting comfortably should alleviate your symptoms.
You can also try flexing your knees toward your abdomen to get some relief or lying on your side with a pillow under your belly for support and another one between your legs. A warm bath may help, too.
If you find that you're more prone to round ligament pain when you're particularly active, cut back to see if that helps. Then, if you feel fine, you can gradually increase your activity until you find the level of exertion that's comfortable for you.

Go to your doctor! My sister was three months pregnant and she went to the bathroom at night and she started to cramp also. A like 20 min. later she had her baby 3 months early, 2 pounds

From experience I am 27 weeks pregnant and anytime that I get up at night to use the restroom if u get up to fast you will get cramping in your stomach because you turned on your side too quick or just got up too fast try going a little slower and see how that works for you. It helped me. Good Luck and Congradulations!

Probably just that your bladder is too full and it's irritating your growing uterus. It doesn't happen during the day because you go to the bathroom before your bladder gets that full. But mention it to your doctor, just in case.

You could be experiencing round ligament pain. I suggest speaking with you doctor soon. It never hurts to be careful.

The baby could be resting in the spot, tell your doctor anyway.
