severe upper and mid back pain

I am 37 weeks and for the past few days I have had terrible upper back pain and mid back pain on both sides. Anyone else feel this way? With my first child I only felt lower back pain but this pregnancy has been miserable in every way possible. Nothing is helping my back and I can't get comfortable no matter what I do. Walking helps a little but I'm supposed to stay off my feet cuz my feet swell quick.  Anyone have any suggestions on how to ease the back pain?? Thanks in advance

All my back pain has also been mid and upper back. No lower back pain. Walking helps and hot showers/baths.

I tried laying on a hearing pad but it's hard to breathe on my back.  Bengay helped but only for short period of time
