Quite common for newborns to do.

You can call your ped just to put yourself at ease. but I think it is normal - their nervous system isn't fully developed yet.

Newborns do funny things that are completely normal.

Take it from someone who brought her child to a neurologist before the age of one month even though the pediatrician thought the child was fine embarrassed

I think I did enough worrying for myself and for you. Just spare yourself. Babies nervous systems are underdeveloped.

That's one of the reasons for swaddling -- so their twitches don't wake them up!
