Hormones or??

*long post sorry!* Ok TMI but, troubles in the bedroom and I’m at a loss.

So I’m 30 weeks pregnant, almost 31. And maybe around 20 weeks I started coming down with yeast infections like crazy, turns out the lubricant we were using had glycerin in it 🤦‍♀️😒 and being pregnant I became extra sensitive. So whatever, I figured it out and stopped coming down with them but if I had to pinpoint where things started lacking in the bedroom it would be there. Kinda understandable because hubby was just trying to give me space to fix myself back up and what not but he would just assume I wasn’t done medicating rather than asking me if I’m ok again. And I’ve explained to him the process, the box in the bathroom says three days for Pete’s sake. So I didn’t know that’s why he wasn’t instigating anything. So it’s been feeling like it’s all on me to start things up for weeks now and I don’t know about you ladies but I hate being the only one to instigate. Also I noticed he started showing signs of looking at porn again (which is not accepted in our marriage, not only by me but him as well. So to be clear I’m not crazy controlling, he doesn’t want to be addicted to porn either) I knew I needed to have a check in talk with him but knowing the answer deep inside I really didn’t want to check in and input it off hoping things would get better. It didn’t, so finally I spoke with him Monday and things were confirmed. He said around the time I started needing to medicate frequently is when he started to struggle. I asked him if he was even attracted to me right now And we also talked about how while he still finds me attractive I’m not a mystery anymore, he sees my body all the time and so it’s not as exciting. I won’t lie, that stung abit and still continues to, but I also get it. So I offered to wear jammies to bed from now on, he tried to say I didn’t have to do that but I know I do. (I don’t mind, I like PJ’s) so here we are 5 days later from that talk and still NOTHING. I know he hasn’t been looking at porn in these five days, and he himself says he’s doing better, so far, but I’m still laying here untouched and I’m starting to get really really butt hurt about it. I can’t talk to him about it because I don’t want pity sex. I want him to want me. And right now I feel super unwanted and super frustrated because I feel the clock ticking. We only have 10 more weeks till sex is totally off the table for awhile. Every day I have right now is a gift considering I won’t know how I feel tomorrow and every week I get rounder. I even told him last night that last time we had sex (over two weeks ago) it felt obligatory on his end and I don’t like feeling that way so my not instigating isn’t me not wanting to. I don’t remember what he said but he clearly felt bad but then promptly fell asleep. I just don’t know what to do anymore and I don’t have a whole lot of patience left for the situation. I feel like I’m going to end up blowing up at something completely random at this point if this continues. Idk, am I overreacting here? Being too insecure? I love my pregnant body, more so than my regular body. But I feel like I’m not attractive to him at all, even if he did say I was. 😞 I don’t know how to talk to him about this even because sex after that will just seem like it was an obligation.
