Seek Medical attenti: Your OB/Gyn doctor can examine you and guide you further. otherwise seek Orthopedic consultation to assess your pelvic bones and joints. It is essential that you remain active and move around. otherwise your bones will get weaker even more and you risk development of blood clots in your legs...so you must walk around(use a support/stick or cane to give you extra support, if needed).
