Ligament problems, RA and pregnancy

Now 14 weeks pregnant so feeling loads better with regard to morning sickness but getting a lot of pain in my pelvis (joint between sacrum and pelvis). Assuming it it pelvic girdle pain and pregnancy related. It bloody hurts and seems to be getting worse and I've got a long way to go before baby appears.
Also my repaired tendon in my finger is causing me a lot of pain and when I've looked at it this evening it seems that it has 'fallen off' the joint again.

My arthritis seems to be behaving at the moment (fingers would be crossed if I could) but my tendons and ligaments seem to be going a bit crazy.

Anyone know if there is anything I can do?

    It's a long time since I was pregnant, jenzie, but if I was, and had pelvic pain, I'd be down at my GP's surgery.

    It's all too easy to assume that everything is arthritis-related. It might be but it might not. I think you should get it checked out.
    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

    I'm meant to be seeing my osteopath tomorrow so hoping she can help. Although my son is currently ill so the appointment is looking unlikely.

    Gp's are spectacularly useless.
