Lower back pain at 14+5

Anyone had awful back pain? I work at a desk all day and also have a long commute including walking half an hour to the station and back again with a rucksack.
I've tried some stretches last night which helped a tad but I really don't know what else I can do to help the pain other than continuing to see if the pregnancy safe stretches work. I don't know whether to book to see my GP or not or. Will they just send me away saying they can't do much and to keep stretching?

I also have this at the moment. It's so awful I can barely walk when it's irritated. I called my midwife today and she says it sounds like sciatica but couldn't really suggest much other than staying active (taking short breaks from sitting throughout the day) and stretches

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!
