hi all, I had my 1st baby 5 weeks ago and for the last 4 weeks of my pregnancy i suffered with the same thing. My midwife said it was symphisis pubis, which is the ligaments which hold the 3 peices of pelvis together get all soft and it causes pain. It will go almost straight after birth and they should give you some exercises to do after to help it.
You can help the problem by sitting with legs together, be careful getting in and out of a car ( get in and out like a lady with your knees together), and when you walk take small steps. Hope this helps and dont worry it gets better very quickly.
Hope this helps
