Haven’t had sex since pregnant

I’m 37 week closed to due. My husband and I have not had sex since the beginning of pregnancy. He said that he is worried about the baby but I feel like it’s more than that. Prior to pregnancy, he was already having troubles staying erected and seemed uninterested in having sex. I feel so insecure whenever it happens. He said before that he used to be able to have sex everyday or every other day when he was with his ex wife but ever since we have gotten tgt, our sex life just keeps getting worse and worse. We had conversations and I let him know how it made me feel & he tried his best to reassure me but no matter how many times we spoke about it, our sex life just doesnt get better. It’s so annoying :(((

The erection issues and low drive were already there before pregnancy, so it does sound like something worth looking into properly together, not just reassuring words. It might help to gently suggest he sees a doctor, because sometimes it is a physical thing that can actually be treated, and having that conversation framed around his health rather than your insecurity can take some pressure off both of you. You are almost at the finish line with your pregnancy, so once things settle after delivery, it could be a good time to revisit this together with more headspace, maybe even consider couples counselling if the communication keeps going in circles.
