Back pain 😭

My lower back/top of bum cheek (very similar to sciatica) is killlling me at night at the moment. getting off the sofa it hurts to walk I have to hobble a step n then stand still to catch my breath from the pain, then can’t get comfortable in bed. Obvs only thing we can take is paracetamol which doesn’t ever feel like it touches the side!! - anyone else ? What do you do?

When I had pelvic girdle pain in previous pregnancy the physio said not to use the pregnancy pillows as makes you hunch forwards. She said it’s better to have a pillow between your thighs/knees so pelvis stays straight (I find a thinner pillow best) and then one in front of your bump to add support and kind of support the shoulder of the top arm.

I also found hot water bottle/heat helped and a little massager thing that was about a fiver with 3 prongs and used it around hip/bum/thigh area. There are other tips for posture if you google pelvic girdle pain management, assuming it’s that x

This is a bit strange.. but hear me out

I am 36 weeks and 4 days today.
I had that feeling, you know when you are trying to take a tampon out on your end of period and it kind of hurts because the tampon is dry? I had that sensation today?

Now I feel like I have to push something about my vagina? It kinda tickles but uncomfortable. I’m not having any pains at all anywhere btw so can’t be baby ??

Girl names

We have an Elsie and we nickname her ā€œElsaā€ like queen elsa from frozen

If we have a girl my husband would love a spin on ā€œannaā€ without actually calling her Anna lol

What names are similar to Anna / could be a play on words?

I’ve said Aria but I don’t know any others
