Can pregnant women with symphysis pubis diastasis go for a walk?

Patient's question:

Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:
It just happened. Recently, because turning over in bed was especially painful, even lifting my feet was somewhat painful. The doctor said I have a symphysis pubis diastasis and need to rest in bed. But I want to have a natural birth. Now I want to go out for more walks. Is it okay to walk in my situation?

Doctor's answer:

Pregnant for more than 8 months, experiencing symphysis pubis diastasis symptoms, and wanting a vaginal delivery. Walking and other activities after diastasis may worsen the degree of separation, and symptoms may become more severe.
Advice: It is recommended that you avoid activity and rest in bed. This is better. If the separation is severe, it is advisable to have a cesarean section to terminate the pregnancy, as vaginal delivery may worsen the symptoms.
