Crazy Pelvic Pain- Normal?

So I have been having this ridiculous pain in my pelvic area, which makes it a nightmare to walk, especially after a long day, and it lasts until the next day. I have been told to work out, and it only makes it worse. I hate googling things, because it makes me worry. I have read about many people having the same issue and told either be on bed rest or work out more, the baby could come early, and if it isn't SPD it could be ruptured cysts from my PCOS. However that would be life threatening and I would be dead already if that were the case because I have had this pain since about 25 weeks, and now I am 32 weeks.  I told my doc about it of course, and he says its normal. It is so painful I can't sleep. Which is okay since I have been too busy for sleep anyway. I am taking 2 business classes, running a business, painting the gallery, teaching classes and helping out at the Tacky Palette, working on an illustration job, a commissioned work, and a few other projects of my own.
My mom has to speak at a conference in California in March, and if this baby comes early, which according to my research is a good possibility, she wont be able to make it.
I found this article which pretty much sums up the pain pretty well.

She basically sums up and says that she had to go to a chiropractor, wear a brace, and do kegel exorcises and heating pads.  None of which sound helpful in the least. But I will talk to my doctor about what can be done when I go this week. I am getting more terrified of delivery by the minute with this pain. If simply walking and turning in bed is painful... How am I going to push out a baby? AHH!  Has anyone else had this pain, and found the cause AND the RELIEF? Should I work out or stay on my feet. I feel better when I have rested a few hours, but then I go and work again and if I sit for a few minutes I can't get back up! *frustration*  Instinct says to sit on my ass, but I don't have time.  I might have just changed my mind about an epidural if I can deliver traditionally. Yeah I know, everyone said I would change my mind ;p
