Sex and pelvic organ prolapse

This post might be all over the place, so I apologize in advance if it's a little hard to follow.
I recently found out I have a stage 2 prolapse after giving birth to my 3 month old. I was cleared at my 6 week appointment to resume sex, but held off as I was still having discomfort. Turns out that discomfort is the prolapse. It isn't protruding out of me, but my uterus, bladder, and vaginal walls are all bulging near the vaginal opening.
My OBGYN and pelvic floor therapist all said sex should be fine and I shouldn't have an issue, but when it came time to do the deed I chickened out.
I guess I'm just looking for someone who has maybe gone through this before and has any advice? I want to be intimate with my husband again, I'm just really nervous about this.

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

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 😃
