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?

In addition to the suggestions, I found changing the way you sit so that pressure is not on the tailbone helped me a lot. Simply lean slightly forward when sitting. I was placed on a no exercise Dr's order due to issues in pregnancy and these aches and pains were a daily. Use more comfortably firm (but not too hard) pillows to angle your hips/legs/arms/neck during sleep - you can find instructional videos on YouTube. It helped me more than the U shape pillow because I can adjust it myself. Occasionally, I apply a warm water bottle to relieve/distract the pain area a little. Hopes this helps!
