There are 2 main causes of "normal pains and pressure" in pregnancy. The first is simply caused by the weight of the baby (plus fluid and placenta) in your uterus baring down in your pelvis.
The second major cause of pain for most women is pelvic ligaments being thinned and stretched. These ligaments support your ever expanding uterus - this pain is sharp or stabbing and can go down to your thighs. It can be very, very painful.
The sciatic nerve can also make itself known in pregnancy, causing a painful ache or sometimes a numb feeling in the pelvis.
With your doctor's OK; a warm bath or hot pack can help, so can massage. Knee lifts can sometimes help with stretching ligaments, being careful not to lose your balance. Pelvic rocking or hip squeeze exercises may provide some relief.
Acupuncture and chiropractic adjustments are also helpful.
