Yes, go and see a good physio asap. Depending on your area you might be able to self refer, or you might need a referal. If you can't get a quick NHS referral and can afford it go privately (I pay £45 an hour and have only needed two appointments).

They will be able to give you lots of advice re movement and lifestyle.

I've got pretty bad SPD and am on crutches, but being on crutches has made a massive improvement. It is also frequently recommended to sleep on top of a douvet for extra padding at night. I'm sleeping on a douvet on an airbad and again this has made a huge difference.

Good luck and remember it should go away shortly after having the baby.
