    I have the same problem.
    The pain started at around 5 months pregnant. My son is over 4 months old & I am still in pain if I do too much.
    I was basically told to deal with it too, but I only had it in my 3rd pregnancy. So I thought it can't be right. But then a gp explained it to me & it made sence. It didn't help with the pain, but at least I knew what was going on.
    By the end of my pregnancy I was depressed coz I was in so much pain I could barely walk. I cried every night.
    Then I gave birth flat on my back, with my knees up to my chest too. I found out AFTER that that wasn't a good idea.
    Last week I walked down to get DS's 4 month needles.2 or 3 blocks away. I was aching on the way home, but wasn't too bad. I woke up the next morning with burning pain in my pubic bone & I couldn't move.
    I spoke to my MCHN about it & she spoke to a physio who is going to have a look as it should be better by now. I just can't do any exercise til I see her - so no more walking.
    I don't know what she'll be able to do to help, but anything is better than nothing.
    There is a support belt thing you can get to wear. I didn't find that out til last week either, so not much help now!
    Just try to rest as much as possible. Don't over do it, & try some panadol. That's all I can suggest. Physio, Chiro or Osteopath might be helpful, but I'm not too sure how helpful.


    I just looked at the site Marydean posted. Read it. There's heaps of info there.
