Sex question.

I’m posting anon because I feel a little embarrassed about this topic. But basically, I’m in the third trimester now, and me and my husbands sex life is becoming non-existent. I know he still wants it, and my size has not been an issue for him. But it’s me, I’m just not up to it ever. My back hurts, my hips hurt, etc.

He is not the type to complain about not having sex and he is completely understanding. But he has been so wonderful throughout this whole pregnancy, and he’s done so much. I feel like he deserves to not lose his sex life. I can’t go down on him either because my gag reflex has been really sensitive.

So I need tips. Especially after the birth, when I won’t be able to have sex until we get the ok. Here’s what I kind of feel embarrassed about. We’re not really a sex toy type of couple, but I’ve heard of those stroke toys for men, would it be totally weird if I got him one? Has anyone ever done that for their mate? It doesn’t bother if he used it, but I wouldn’t even know how to give it to him, I feel like he would be embarrassed.
