Sex while pregnant

In my second pregnancy and just like my first, I cannot have sex. I literally can’t. I feel immediate sharp, stabbing pain when anything goes in and comes out. I’m trying so hard but I can’t help but either push or just panic because of the pain. I feel terrible for my partner because he has been so patient. This happened during my first pregnancy and up until our toddler was about 18 months (likely because of breastfeeding) but close to when our toddler turned 24 months I started feeling normal again and was able to have sex.

But once I got pregnant, the pain returned. I just don’t understand, I even went to a pelvic therapist during my post partum because this is seriously becoming an issue. I don’t know if it’s mental or whatever but I just need to know if anyone has any advice because I hate this. It honestly sucks and I don’t know what to do.

I listened to a podcast and a lady mentioned she had vaginismus which sounds like it could be a possibility? She said doctors and gynaecologists said it was all in her head until she privately seen a pelvic floor specialist

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

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!

Has anyone ever had pain in the bone at the bottom of the lady area?

How I can only describe it is I feel like I have a fracture or the bone is broken right at the bottom of my vagina bone obviously don’t think it’s to the extent but that’s how it feels. I had it in my last pregnancy and the pain went few months postpartum now it’s back again with this pregnancy. These are the results that u e googled I think I may have the first one has anyone every had this or something similar

Growth scan

So had my 28 week midwife appointment- all good but after measuring bump- I’m now waiting on a scan within a few days as bump is measuring small I’m not worried as I am guessing a tape measure is hardly accurate but
For anyone who has been in a similar position- what was the outcome after the scan? Was the baby on the smaller side ?
Was baby measuring normal?

Thanks
