Is it normal to not have had sex since conception?

First off, I know that my wife is going through so much and I know that things are very difficult for her physically, emotionally, mentally... I get that!
But my wife is currently 27 wks along with our 2nd child and we have not had intercourse since our child was conceived.
I have tried everything, different approaches, showing her tons of affection, showing her little, touching her, making her feel desired and attractive. I have taken the brunt of the chores just to make it easier on her... But nothing I do seems to make her want me even a tenth as much as I want her.
Is it normal for a couple to just not have any interaction of a sexual nature during their entire pregnancy?

    Yes yes yes yes.

    Every pregnancy is different. Sometimes you get super horny, sometimes you don't want it at all. Happy mediums are rare. Just be patient with her. She may feel sick, exhausted, or maybe it hurts.

    Talk to her. Find out what aspect of sex is difficult and address it.

    I think the stress of the pregnancy possibly or just the overall fatigue has her sex drive low . It may be difficult for her since she is so far along and then after the birth it will probably carry on like this but it will get better . I think she feels bad about probably like most might but sometimes these things happen during a situation like a pregnancy , do you communicate these feelings to her even though?

      I have... Repeatedly.

      I am not asking for Penthouse forum content, but just physically intimacy would be nice.

      She just says, "We'll do it sometime soon" or "We'll try again"... "This is just a phase, it will pass." (The problem is that I work every other weekend and work a different shift from her, so our time together is limited as is.) And I know that once the baby is born, between a newborn, an 8 year old, and our jobs, the situation is going to be that much worse.

        I don't mean to trivialize it or suggest that it might not still suck, but what you are describing here is called life. Working a sex life around a busy family life is a very common problem and is completely normal. You just gotta do what you can, when you can, even if that isn't much at all, and there isn't really anything that can be said beyond that.
