You have just described EXACTLY how I am feeling! First pregnancy I didn't get this pain till around 36 weeks but this time around it started around the 27-28 week mark like you. I have spoken to obst, docters and a physio and they all unfort say the same thing - it is the loosening of the ligaments and there is not a hell of a lot you can do about it.
You could try getting a pregnancy belt from a physio to wear, that helps a little bit but I found for me it is not that effective. Other recommendations I have been given are if you go swimming (as this does mildly relieve the pain) do not attempt breaststroke as it makes it worse, always when getting up from a lying position place both feet on the floor before getting up...umm am trying to think what else works? Some people recommend pillows in between legs when lying but I find that even tho this does support you it does not help the pain.
Sorry to sound so negative but I have tried everything and cannot get relief - if anyone else knows a cure I would also love to know!!!!!!
