Kegel & pelvic tilts: In addition to doing kegel or pelvic floor exercises, you can wear a pregnancy or maternity binder, available at most stores that sell maternity clothes. There are a number of websites you can visit with explanations of the exercises and other tips. An example is http://www.Whattoexpect.Com/pregnancy/symptoms-and-solutions/symphysis-pubic-dysfunction.Aspx.

SymphysealSeparation: During pregnancy your placenta releases a hormone called Relaxin that softens your connective cartilage; this will allow your pelvis to open during childbirth but can also lead to pain/hip instability/pubic symphyseal separation, which can be painful. Exercising your stabilizer muscles can help; you may also consider buying a pelvic girdle/belly band for compression/support.
