I have pelvic girdle pain, and one thing that helps keep it at bay is keeping your knees together when changing position in bed, or sitting in a chair/car (sit butt first and move knees together) in my experience nothing makes it go away except having the baby but if you can remember to move your legs together it sure helps. Good luck.

Sciatica is a butt cheek pain for sure. Sometimes it can come higher but its either random shooting pain or constant issue.
Pelvic girdle is right in your very center kinda like cervix area but not that can make your hips and spine ache constantly.
They say to experiment with hot (not too hot) and cold compresses but I've not tried it as mine comes as random shooting pinches that make my leg give way.
