sex whilst pregnant

Im currently 27 weeks and starting to feel it. Im suffering with a bad back and have put on a fair bit of weight just recently. I feel bad saying this but I just dont feel attractive since the start of my pregnancy. Sex is just so much more complicated I either dont fancy it, i have back problems or the positions are really awkward. My husband says he still finds me attractive but im sure hes just saying that to make me feel better. Has anyone else felt like this???? We've always had a healthy sex life so im finding this difficult. Im hoping my labido and sex life will return a few weeks after the baby is born and my body settles back to normal

I feel the same. I was an avid runner and gym goer before I got pregnant with my 2nd and I literally have no energy to do anything. I've already gained  fair amount of weight at 14 weeks pregnant and feel disgusting. But husband says I'm more beautiful than ever.  I think everyone goes through this. Hang in there
