Not a shoe recommendation but don’t forget compression socks. I can totally tell the difference in fatigue when I don’t wear a good pair. I like Sockwell 20-30 graduated compression socks. A bit pricey ($26) but if you don’t put them in the dryer, they last a long time.

I have a similar issue with herniations at T10-T12, and subluxing ribs so used to have issues with bras. I used to get a larger band size than I needed, and only wore it when I left the house (which may or may not be good advice, considering it will not be very supportive and could worsen back problems).
But something that might help you that you may not have heard of is a compression top (the type that runners use) such as this. Beware of the sizing as they are tight, and the more expensive ones tend to be tighter (which might put too much pressure on your ribs). But it might allow you to wear a slightly looser bra/ camisole or crop top type bra with the compression top on top which then spreads the support across the whole of your back. So I'd probably go for a cheaper one (in the $15-$20 range) as they tend to be looser (brands like Under Armour and Skins are very tight and are the size of a baby gro so you have to squeeze into them which might hurt, and compress your ribs too much), and check reviews to see if the sizing is true.
My husband bought me these kind of cute compression socks after i lost my ankles over the holidays from standing and cooking. They work sooooo well. I am 37 + 5 and was on my feet shopping from 10 am until 5 pm today, got home, peeled them off and guess who still has ankles? This lady!
Omg definitely these. Probably won't fit into your shoes though.
Oh girl, I know that feeling! I am a huge fan of compression gear, it keeps the jiggles in check so I can concentrate on my run. I have two of these Reebok shirts and love them, they provide great support and aren't too hot. The bottom hem of the inside layer is also a little bit sticky so it stays put while you are running :) Good luck!
I have the same problem. I used to always get cramps on my cardio days. My solution was investment in compression calf sleeves. I'm not saying this will solve all your problems. But it does help the recovery period and lengthen my training time. Also, stay hydrated and bananas.
I have these in my Amazon cart right now, actually. There are quite a few out there. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005P4N2YM/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_56xxub18JES5B
I bought these and used them during a 12 hours flight to Europe and back at 6 months pregnant. Warm and comfy, just make sure you don't put them on too early (i put them on while in the sitting room waiting to embark) and you can easily put them on (wearing skinny jeans was not the best idea! Had to remove everything in those tiny restrooms!)

Hey ladies! I got here a bit by accident, but I wanted to let you all know that ugly compression socks are one thing you don't have to put up with. I have to wear them due to having had a DVT and having Post-Thrombotic Syndrome. Here are some of my favorites:
Cutecompression.com has lots of cute styles.
Sockwell has tons of cute styles on Amazon.
Celeste Stein has many cute varieties on Amazon, and they are thinner (great for summer).
I haven't personally tried these or these, but I bet they're ok.
And, finally, some of you may benefit from a sock donner.
Best wishes on your pregnancies, and I hope this helps some of you!
I think you can use these as leg warmers... not entirely sure though...

They're two different things to me.
Compression sleeves
Compression socks
The former would be better for unshod running. the latter would get ripped up.
