Wife sex drive during pregnancy

I want to preface this with saying.. I have the absolute most respect for my wife while carrying our child. The sacrifices and physical demands are undeniable and I can't thank her enough. My situation is this.. throughout the whole pregnancy (now third trimester) she has had zero sex drive or even non sexual intimacy in her. I totally get it and I know it's hormonal plus body image etc. As a male in my late 20's.. my sex drive is through the roof and I guess maybe since I'm unable to get it out now for 7 months, it has just amplified times a thousand. I am a Christian and I have tried for about a year now, and been successful, at not watching pornography. During this period of no intimacy, the urge to watch porn is consuming me but the guilt I feel afterwards makes me hesitant to do so. I don't want anything bad to happen and potentially attribute it to my sins. Does anyone have any words of wisdom or advice on what worked for you? Should I not feel guilty if I watch porn every once in a while during this period of time? Just at a crossroads here. Thank you all!
