I find pregnant women pretty attractive. Maybe it's the primal instinct that they have already been found suitable by another male as a good mother, maybe it's because they were attractive before and I just don't see her pregnancy as detracting from that, I don't know. If it bugs you, don't concentrate on the belly, concentrate on the woman. Also, keep in mind that there's no better way to boost your wife's self-image than to continue to have sex with her during a time she feels she's getting fat, unattractive, feels like crap, etc.
My wife is usually on top anyway, but she carried low with our boys and found she didn't get the penetration she liked during the last few months, so we found a new position. She lays on her side and raises her top leg, you straddle her lower leg and enter her sideways.
As far as waiting until after birth to resume sex, I was born vaginally and with an episiotomy, and my younger brother was born 11 months later. You do the math.
Let me also echo what others have said about inducing labor with sex. For our first son, we took the Bradley classes (I highly recommend them, above Lamaze). They advocated it as a way to relieve stress and start the ball rolling if she goes past her due date and is up for it.
