Groin + Upper Inner Thigh Pain?

Hello All,
I'm 10weeks 2days and I was wondering if anyone else has been experiencing groin and inner thigh discomfort.  Mine started yesterday and hasn't gone away.  It's a constant feeling, but it's more pronounced when I change positions.  I understand that it's a normal part of preparation for the baby's eventual delivery, but I'd love to hear from anyone else who is feeling this. Any tips on how to manage it would also be welcome!
Thanks! :-)

Thanks for your replies!  It's great to know I'm not alone. :-)  

The research I've done suggests two possible explanations:  1) too much relaxin and 2) round ligament pain.  

Apparently, the hormone relaxin is making our pelvic bones soften in preparation for the birth.  If the pain becomes severe, it can be a sign of a much more serious condition called SPD.  Let's hope that's not the case for us!! For more information, visit this site:  http://www.baby-pregnancy-ultrasound-3d-4d.co.uk/Pregnancy-SPD.htm  

I found information about  round ligament pain, on this website:

http://www.babycenter.com/0_round-ligament-pain_205.bc

It says the pain doesn't usually start until the second trimester, but the description seems like what I'm feeling.  The best part is there are some tips for making the pain go away!  Hope this helps! :-)
