Public bone discomfort when pregnant?

I am in the 22 week of my pregnancy and I feel slight discomfort at my pubic bone area (right between both thighs) when changing positions (i.e. standing up, squatting down, getting up from lying down position). I don't really know how to describe the feeling, it is a little painful (but bearable) and it feels as if my below is opening up. Is this a concern? I tried googling and it may be pelvic girdle pain (PGP) or symphysis pubic dysfunction (SPD). Anyone has a similar experience before and can share about it? Should I go to my gynae for this problem?

Yes it is pgp and there’s nothing much you can do. I have suffered since six months preggy till after birth. Told my gynae about it but her reply was “it’s normal”. 😓

No leh. Doesn’t feel like opening up, more like baby’s position drop then when I ask gynae she say baby is in nice position and her head is facing downwards. Maybe you can check with your gynae why do you feel that way.

Try reducing your activity level for a few days?

Actually I don't do any exercise or move around much :(
