I had phsyio nearly every week, to every couple of weeks and I was taped up when it first started playing up, and by playing up I couldn't move LOL! Then after it settled I was given a brace to wear. It was just a matter of realising my limits, knowing I couldn't walk for 20 mins sometimes less without being sore later. Knowing that I had to try and keep my pelvis symetrical at all times otherwise it would click (and that would KILL). I had to watch how I sat, how I slept. It was a PITB but in all honesty after all I went through to get pregnant with Seth I didn't mind that much... The hardest thing for me was not being able to do housework, no vaccumng, mopping etc and getting in and out of the shower (as we have a shower over a tub). I tried to avoid stairs where I could and sex was interesting LOL had to be very careful LOL! In my first pregnancy I did hardly anything because I didn't have a child to run around after and I had people to drive me around. But this time even though I did have MIL to help out when it got really bad I still had to take Paris to Kinder and do all the usual mum stuff. I did notice it came about earlier in the second pregnancy than it did in the first too. The biggest sign of SPD is the clicking, along with the pain I would get aching, but as well as aching a shooting pain (almost felt as though it was in my vagina) and it would come from my legs sometimes too.
If you do end up with SPD I highly recommend seeing a physio that specialises in pregnancy and or SPD.
Goodluck!
ETA: sorry for this being a bit mumble jumble its late and my brain is starting to shut down
