This is usually caused by loosening of the ligaments of the pubic
symphysis. If it becomes severe, symphyseal separation occurs which can
make walking very, very difficult. Have you doctor check at your next
visit and see what s/he thinks.
Hope this helps and write back anytime for more information.
