Will sex be the same again after the baby is born?

I am 24 years old. I've been married 9 months. I am 29 weeks pregnant (approx 6 months). I am embarassed to ask this question online, but I certainly don't want to ask my midwife about it as she is a family friend and I don't want her knowing about my sex life. Nevertheless, I have a concern. For a few weeks now, sex itself has not felt sexual to me. Having sex feels no more arousing or sexual than rubbing my arm continuously. I am wondering if this is due to pregnancy or if something is actually wrong with me? This is very much not like me. Normally we have sex at least once a day, and my body still craves it but is unable to be satisfied. I knew sex would be uncomfortable and even painful at times during pregnancy, but I had no idea that it would not feel good and that my body would still crave an orgasm. Is this normal? Is there something I can do? Will it go away after the baby is born and I recover from the labor?

Thanks much.
