I had it very badly with my last two. I had physiotherapy but to be honest, it just didn't help much at all. The things that stopped it being too agonising: making sure there was no uneven pressure on my pelvis (swing both legs off a chair or bed at the same time, don't lean on one leg, don't use stairs, use a pillow between the knees when sleeping, don't push things with one foot at a time) and long soaks in a hot bath.
In the end with #5 I was induced at 39 weeks because I was just so miserable from the pain and I was nearly crippled, with four kids to look after. The pain has already started this time around, and I am going to try to find some more effective physio and get onto it nice and early. It feels like I've been kicked in the crotch most of the time. Fun! Games! LOL.
Good luck!
