Lower body aching

I'm at Week 19 now, and I'm having quite a bit of pain on my lower body. Sleeping on the sides have caused my hips and part of my ribs to hurt through the night. I often feel tired so I sit a lot throughout the day. But now my buttocks hurt, my hips hurt, my lower back hurts and standing up to walk more tires me to no end. A soft cushion isn't really helping either. Does anyone have any solution or advise from this?

Sadly there's no remedy for that, pregnancy is tough with all sorts of weird pain. What I do occasionally is be on the bed with all fours and sway my hips left and right to relieve hip pain, lower back pain and tailbone pain. Try to walk a little as well, but don't overdo it. I also have a U-shaped pregnancy pillow to help me sleep on my left side and it helps a lot. All the best to you, I'm still struggling in my third trimester hahaha 🥲

This is what I usually do as well, it kinda helps. My ribs hurt a lot whenever I sleep on my left side, so I'm usually at my right (which caused my hands and feet to swell up even more 😅😅). Maternity pillows help a lot. Stretching and strengthening your pelvis in the morning and before going to sleep should also. I'm 36w&1d now, almost at the finish line. We can do this mumsy!
