SPD in second pregnancy

Help!
I got pelvic pain in my first pregnancy from 30 weeks and I remember having a really hard time walking, sitting, turning in bed etc. My daughter is now 20 months and I'm 6 weeks pregnant and I can already feel pain.
Am I just being paranoid and imagining it?
Will it get worse than before as it's started that much earlier?
What exercise can I do to make sure I don't pile on the pounds that won't make it worse?
I know all the advice from before about posture, I have a support thing for my waist and a slip sheet for when I may need it so I don't really want to see the hospital physio to simply be told I'll get crutches if it gets worse. Is there anything that I can do though to make it better?
I'm a childminder so do a lot of buggy pushing on the school run and lifting of the little ones into seats etc.
I don't want to tell anyone til I'm past 12 weeks.
Anyone had the same and survived to tell the tale?

spongebrainbigpants Funnily enough I've got a thread running at the moment asking the exact same question. Here. TBH the answers didn't make me all the wiser and I'm still not sure who to go for! I've had 1 treatment with an osteopath and haven't felt any difference yet. I'm not sure if that's because it's early days or because it's the person himself that's not brilliant.

Ironically we used to live in Basingstoke!

Thank you, I will see what I can find out.

I am not convinced it matters whether you see an osteopath or a chiropractor, I think the main thing is they are used to treating SPD and/or pg women.
