Mine is only bad atm on a night and getting out of cars etc but my midwife said if I gets any worse to let her know and she would refer me to a physio. Might be worth speaking to your midwife about a referral! x

I am crippled with it too. I had it with my first in 2024 and was told it usually gets worse with subsequent pregnancies.
I have a support belt that I was given by the physio team last time, it’s velcros up under my bump but then has an extra velcro section on either side to increase the squeeze. It definitely helps when I have to walk anywhere.
I also have my birth ball blown up already and find some hip circles on that can get into the SI joint pain and provide some relief.
The other thing that is so painful but almost in a good way, is laying on the floor on my back, with my bum against the bottom of the sofa and my legs up on the seat of the sofa (so my hips and knees are both at right angles). It provides a bit of pressure on my SI joints and stretches them a little bit. It’s so painful and the noises that come out of my when I’m doing it are something else, but I do feel like it helps a little.

I’ve dropped my activity levels right down already as I’m very aware that it will get a lot worse. But I also know from last time that it goes away as soon as the baby is born! I never felt it again after I gave birth to my son. I remember being shocked trying to get into bed when I was back at home (after 2 nights in hospital) because I could just climb into bed with no problem at all xx
