7 Months Pregnant and Back Pain?

I'm 7 months pregnant and I've recently had to deal with some rather annoying back pain. So far I haven't found a way to sit and be comfortable. Either it starts to hurt my back, my hips, or my legs, depending on how I sit. I'm hesitant to take Tylenol since it isn't THAT bad, just really annoying and very uncomfortable. No one likes to live with that. I know it's just a part of pregnancy, and if it means a healthy baby, I'm for it, but does anyone have any tricks they found when pregnant that helped alleviate some of the pain?

I sit at a desk a lot at work, but stretching and walking around the office is doing less and less as time goes by. I've found lying on my side does wonder (cuz it relieves some of the pressure on my spine and hips) but I can't just plop down on the floor in the middle of my office. That's impractical and unprofessional. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Answer:
When I was prego I used ice packs a lot and sometimes heatning pads. It helped until I took it off :) Only 2 more months, then you will have to worry about a different kind of pain! :) good luck
Four things:
1). You may have Sciatica. If so: Have somebody press on the center of each hip to found the painful spots, and presses on it several times until the pain is lighten. You may need to do it over for several days; because the person helping you may be do not have Qigong.
2). When walking, try to keep upper body erect (straight), do not bend backward, so you can avoid putting too much stress on the low back.
3). Massage your low back.
4). If you use computer at work, adjust the screen higher and face to your eyes.
