SPD / PDS, call it whatever - Relief suggestions?

Question

Started getting pubic bone pain (also described to friends, family and doctor as "ouch my crotch just hurts so bad") in bed rolling over about week 24. Now 31 weeks and after sitting for long periods of time the pain is excruciating. Reading a lot of blogs about it, but they're all very old. Trying a maternity belt, but open is still severe. Doctor said she would order physical therapy for me but that sounds extreme. 
Does anyone else have experience with this? What'd you do to combat the pain? Things to avoid so I don't make it worse?

Insights are appreciated!

Answer

For me, it was horrible only first thing in the morning. I swore I was being ripped apart when I started walking. Best thing I found to do was just sit on the side of the bed for a min & let my body get adjusted. Good news is, it went away immediately after delivery!

Answer

I go to the chiropractor, use an exercise ball, do some light yoga stretches and try to move a little every 30 minutes or so. If I sit too long, getting up is almost impossible.

Answer

Definitely following, I'm only 17 weeks and it's a constant battle for me. I was in a car accident back in 2010 and broke my pelvic so I know that is some of it, my doctor sent me to the chiropractor and it helped some of the relief

Answer

I had this when I was pregnant, both times. It was extremely painful just to sit or turn over in bed.

I would be the pregnant lady you'd see in the grocery store on one of those electric scooter carts because I couldn't walk more than 10 minutes without experiencing severe pain...I only went to the grocery store if I HAD to.

Nothing helped really. Warm Epsom salt baths and not moving if I didn't HAVE to, was it.

Bed rest was my prescription.
