Third trimester, who's still having sex?

This isn't meant to be invasive. Don't answer if you feel this is too personal.

The reason I ask is...

In my first pregnancy, we had sex right up to my 39th week. I guess I was naive in thinking this pregnancy would be the same. Except, it isn't. My belly got bigger faster this time and my body feels so clunky and heavy. So, my husband who has a high sex drive is (understanding and loving) but I see he is bummed from being turned down. I feel bad because I know he has needs but sex is almost impossible position wise unless I'm on top and even that is not easy at this point. I'm 32 weeks. After we do have sex I'm even more achy. It just sucks because we are barely doing it now and then its going to be 6-8 weeks after I give birth.

Most days I tell him this is temporary and we will have our sex life back. Other days I have no sympathy because helllooooo I'm growing a baby. Idk. This was wordy, just curious how everyone else is doing with this subject.
