back and leg pain

Ladies, I'm 21 weeks pregnant and I have terrible back and leg pain. The pain starts on my lower back and goes down the legs and on my hips  it's getting harder to sleep and walk. I know it's normal but I didn't expact it to be so bad so early. I go swimming once a week and my dr sent me to therapy but it's still the same. Sometimes I feel the pain in my lower abdomen and I have to walk really slow. How do you manage this pain?
