Are Muscle Twitches Common During Pregnancy?

I am about 15 weeks pregnant with a normal pregnancy. I have been experiencing fasciculation in my right arm off and on for almost a week. It's in the bicep and it is not painful nor is there any tingling or weakness involved. Is it common to experience such muscle twitches when pregnant? If so, is there anything I can do to try to prevent the fasciculation?
