Pelvic Pain: Anyone else? Any ideas?

Over the past couple of days, I have been having pain in my pubic region. At first, I thought it might be a bladder infection or UTI, but I described it to dh and he didn't think so because it is more to one side. It has seemingly gotten worse. It feels like a really horrible bruise, but almost like an internal bruise and seems to be much worse when I stand or walk. I am pretty well ok when I am sitting down but standing/walking is painful. Of course, I have been googling and the only thing I can conclude is that it may be pelvic girdle pain or SPD. I did not experience this with DS1. Any ideas? Does this sound like PGP or SPD? Any ideas on anything to do to help it? I will bring it up at my next appointment with the OB, but that is a week away.

I got this with my son, they told me it was SPD. But I didn't get it with him until I was at least 30 weeks or so, and this time around I am already dealing with it, which seems too early...but oh well.
I haven't really figured out how to make it better though, unfortunately. I just suffered through it last time. Sleeping with a pillow between my legs would definitely help for the mornings but it got worse throughout the day.

I posted about this earlier - the post ended up getting taken down. My midwife told me that I really need to exercise and stretch all those muscles and that it should help. I have been doing kegels a few times a week, walking on my stepper, and stretching. It seems to have eased up the pain. I also sleep with a pillow between my legs and it seems to really make a difference. I forgot the other day and regreted it in the morning.
Good luck, hope you feel better!

I've had pretty severe pelvic and back pain since about week 18. I've been doing everything my MW recommended and it's getting a little more bearable. Not sure which of these has helped the most but this is what I've been doing:
- pelvic support belt
- weekly chiropractor visits
- bi-weekly pre-natal massage
- liquid calcium/magnesium every night before bed
And then I try to make sure I'm sitting straight up, both legs on the ground and not crossed during the day. I got a support pillow for my office chair too that helps with that.
Pelvic pain really sucks. Hope you find something that works for you!
A friend had one from MM that she said wasn't very good so I've been looking on amazon. Any feedback would be appreciated!

@chknma I got the Baby Belly Band abdominal belt and compression therapy groin bands. It's not magic but it does seem to help so I've been wearing it whenever I workout.
