Get a room- but not MY room!

First time poster, long time lurker.
I'm very pregnant - relevant.
Lodger is a friend, until recently has been a single workaholic, renting 5 nights a week. It was perfect, he was usually at work, but when he was at home we'd often all chill out together. (Husband and toddler at home too.)
We have spoken about needing the room back when baby needs own room, timing seemed to coincide with the end of this contract. All going well so far...
BUT: He's just got a girlfriend.
She has basically moved in.
Stuff (tvs, her clothes etc) coming up the stairs when it should be going out.
He recently mentioned his work contract might be extended.
Giggling, snogging, whispering sweet nothings and late night shag fests. (Woke me up as I thought it was the toddler having breathing difficulties!!)
Awkward as hell.
I feel claustrophobic, and have had enough. Am I being hormonal or is this an invasion?

Give him Official Notice, he's taking the piss Flowers

It sounds like the boundaries have got a bit blurred if he's been used to hanging out some evenings with you and your H - particulary as you were friends before he moved in. So it probably feels more like a flatshare than a lodging arrangement and therefore he probably feels he doesn't need your permission to have a sex life.
Your best bet is probably to give him notice politely but firmly because you need the room back.
