I agree with the previous posts - it's completely normal. I had it from around 16wks with my first and it continued all the way through. I'm currently 36wks with my 2nd and have had it again since 18wks. My Dr is never worried that I have it this long. It's your body getting ready to give birth and in my experience my labour was quite easy so I always say that was my reward for being in so much pain during the pregnancy!
Your Dr should be able to suggest stretches or a belt to help if the pain gets too bad. Best of luck :)

Just your bodies way of letting you know you're getting closet I've had pelvic pain on and off since about 23 weeks and I'm now 28 usually went away shortly after starting. I'd check in it continues for a long period of time

Not really. Normally about this time your ligaments are stretching so u can have some sharp pain. If it continues it wouldnt hurt to get it checked out. Better safe.
