PSD? Or normal pregnancy pains?

So... I know some hip and pelvic pain is normal.  I'm just wondering, at what point do you suspect something like pubic symphysis dysfunction?  All of the descriptions seem so vague.  I have definitely had a hard time getting out of bed lately (I can't swing my legs over one at a time.  I have to keep them together when I roll over).  I also feel like someone kicked me in the crotch.  I assumed this was pretty typical but tonight I was trying to do yoga and just couldn't do it.  I kept getting this excruciating pain (basically right where the pubic symphysis is) any time I moved my legs apart, like when squatting.  This just sucks.  I WANT to exercise.  Walking seems to aggravate my sciatic nerve and now yoga is out... I'm so uncomfortable and I still have 3 months to go...

    It sounds like PSD...my Dr suspects this for me as well. I start physical therapy next week. I am wondering what kind of thing/exercise they will be doing in PT??

    I had never heard of PSD before. I have everything you described and I just always thought that it was normal pregnancy pains.

    Ditto this!  Now I wonder if I should talk to Dr. about it.

    Well, I don't think there is much they can do either way.  I'm already seeing a chiropractor.  I  just started wondering if it's normal to hurt THIS much.  I was in tears last night.  In addition to that, not being able to exercise, even a little, is depressing.  I feel like such a whiner... I know it will be worth it but wow.  I just wasn't prepared to feel like I'm 100 years old.
