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?

I’m at week 24 + 3 now, and imho, exercise and staying active really does help! There are plenty of prenatal workout videos on YouTube, so you can pick one to suit your physical capabilities. Focusing more on the core, back, glutes, and thighs will do the trick. It makes your body stronger and helps you be better prepared for birth 👍🏼 lots of stretching during cool down is important as well. Good luck!
