Anyone else getting really bad pelvic pain already?

I'm nearly 26 weeks and the pain in my pelvic area has been so bad the last few days. It's super bad when I get up after sitting for a long period of time. I never had this with my first pregnancy but this baby seems super low as my bump is low and they also kick super low.
