Pregnant after IF

Possibly personal, maybe TMI, but help?

Hi all... so I've been going back and forth about posting this, but I need some advice/encouragement/moral support. DH is terrified to have sex because he thinks he's going to hurt me and/or the babies. I was able to talk him into it early on, but now that I have a belly and the girls are growing so much, every time I bring it up, he looks like a deer-in-headlights. He's assured me that it has nothing to do with feeling or anything, he still thinks I'm beautiful (very sweet of him) but he's absolutely terrified to make love.

I don't know what to do at this point because I can literally count how many times we've been intimate on one hand since I've been pregnant (and I don't even need the whole hand), and although he assures me of where his worries lie, I can't help but feeling like there is an unnecessary separation between us... I hate that I feel this distance when we're so close to becoming parents, but I don't know what to do to fix it. 

Any tips or advice are much appreciated, and if nothing else, TIA for letting me vent!
