Re #1 you might have symphisis pubis pain. It is when the muscles in your pelvis, holding it together, stretch but unevenly. I have been getting it - very painful. It feels like I have been torpedo kicked right on my pubic bone (but only on the left side - one side is common). Sypmtoms become painful when walking alot, going up stairs, getting out of bed or the car, generally at times when you're legs are uneven. My Ob says a physio can help alot, but I havent booked my appointment yet.
