Possible Separated Symphysis

I am 27 weeks pregnant and am experiencing pain that sounds like a separated symphysis. I have pain internally - vaginal - when I do anything on one foot, such as putting on pants, rolling over in bed, getting in and out of car, etc. Recently it is also painful when walking, especially when I overdue it. This is my second pregnancy, first pregnancy I delivered by c-section, I did not go through labor. I am wondering if separation can be caused by pregnancy - most of what I read says happens during birth. My Ob-gyn says baby is sitting on pubic bone and applying pressure causing the pain. Is there a test/exam that can be done to determine if you have a separated pubic bone? Thank you.
