Pregnant, Had Back Pain For Log. Now Have Swollen Feet, Ankles And Calves With Hip Pain. Suggest?

My girlfriend is pregnant and has had back pain for about two years now. She is now complaining of swollen feet, ankles, calves on the left side. She also is having back/hip pain on the same side. What can we do to help this calm down. The swelling also feels warm/hot and when you push in with a finger on the ankle and take it off the skin just stays inward (mushy).
