SPD/PGP - Support Belt Recommendations?

I’m only 17 weeks but 12.5 hour hospitsl shifts are causing agony in my lower back/pelvis!! The bending, twisting, lifting etc is obviously not helping but it mostly just seems to stem from standing for long periods which unfortunately is completely unavoidable!!

Does anyone have any support belt reccomendations? I feel like the pain is so low down, I can’t imagine being able to wear a belt low enough.

I also work in a hospital and am suffering- I just called into the physio department one day and asked if they had a belt I could try, they gave it to me there and then. Will obviously depend on your hospital if this is likely or not, do you know any friendly physios you could have a word? It does make a bit of a difference, will try and post a pic of the one I've got. I've given up on taking the stairs and only wear flat, lace up shoes at all times, the combination of these 3 things have meant I've gone from being crippled to getting through the day pain free. Unfortunately we have stairs at home, so no avoiding them totally but I go up as few times a day as possible!

I have a belt like this one:

A colleague who had recently had a baby gave it to me. I went from being almost unable to walk, to moving fairly normally.

It is a bit fiddly as it has multiple pieces but I think that's what makes it so good. Honestly life changing!

I should say that I don't have the packaging so can't check the exact brand but that looks like the same one.
