Third trimester intimacy

I'm 29 and the long and short of it is that I can't get down to business with Dh.
I really want to but I feel like my libido is through the floor and when we've tried, I can't find a position where I don't feel like my body might break. (SPD is a bitch)

Is anyone else in the same boat or does anyone have any advice?
I miss being intimate with Dh and don't want to resign myself to the possible fact that I may be a nun for the next couple of months.

I had the same problem when I was pregnant but we got creative with pillows for support and really stuck to one or two positions. I was MASSIVE as well so couldn't get too close to each other.

End of the bed with pillows under the bum was easiest though not as intimate.

I really didn't fancy it, and tbf I felt weird as our baby felt very present. As it went I couldn't face it till a month (or3) after birth. 2nd pregnancy and sex is lush and libido high. Don't worry, follow your body.

@WeeCheekyBird I'll have to stock up on pillows  We fried a few different ways but each time, my hip started hurting or I felt a bit squashed. I'm pretty huge already so that doesn't help lol!

@fizzpopbang I was the same with my 1st. It creeped me out that the baby was there and I didn't want it for the entire pregnancy. I think we did it about twice and that was to try and trigger labour.
This pregnancy, my libido has been much higher and our sex life was going well but a few weeks ago, my sex drive dropped off a cliff. I'm just desperate to get it back!

I'll try not to put pressure on myself and take things slowly. It's just frustrating.
