Sex and Pregnancy

I am currently 26 weeks pregnant. My husband and I have had sex throughout our pregnancy. Around 13 weeks my husband because worried sex would hurt the baby. We talked through it and he felt better about it. Fast forward to this past week — he now says he feels uncomfortable having sex with me because I am showing and the baby “is right there” and because we can feel her kicks now. Im trying not to be hurt by his decision to not have sex with me, but I honestly am hurt. I have had a hard pregnancy and I feel terrible about myself. We have no intimacy other than sex and without it I am afraid we will fall into a deep rut and not be able to get out of it after our daughter is born. He says he will get over it eventually and wants to have sex with me, but I feel like he is just telling me that to feel better. Is there anything I can say or do to make him feel differently about having sex with his pregnant wife? I am also sexually frustrated/emotionally frustrated as I am craving affection and intimacy. I am not sure what to do.
