Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Sexual life of pregnant women alters during pregnancy due to the physiologic,\' anatomic and hormonal changes in her body. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate female sexual functioning after becoming pregnant.
METHODS: A prospective survey study including 148 pregnant women. An anonymous questionnaire including 60 inquiries concerning intimate relationship before and during pregnancy was performed. The following statistical test were used: Chi-square test of independence, Spearman\'s rank correlation coefficient and Wilcoxon test. The significance level of p = 0.05 was assumed.
RESULTS: Most of the respondents were between 31 and 40 years old (55%). Majority of them were married (86%). During pregnancy, slightly more than half of women had a moderate need for sexual intercourse (51%), a large percentage of them had a low need (32%), a high need for intercourse was declared by 17% of women. The correlation analysis showed a statistically significant relationship between women\'s education and the need for sex before pregnancy (p = 0.049). Respondents with higher degrees of education more often felt the need for intercourse before pregnancy. No correlation was found between education and the need for intercourse after pregnancy (p = 0.107). After becoming pregnant, 51% of women had less need for intercourse, 7% more, and 42% the same as before pregnancy, and these differences were statistically significant (p < 0.001). Also, a decreased satisfaction with sexual intercourse was reported during pregnancy (p < 0.001). After getting pregnant, the average number of intercourses decreased in majority (71%) of respondents, and differences in the number of intercourses before and during pregnancy were statistically significant (p < 0.001).
CONCLUSIONS: Pregnancy has significant impact on woman\'s sexuality. After becoming pregnant majority of women declare less need for sexual intercourses, decreased number of intercourses with less satisfaction.

摘要：
背景：孕妇的性生活在怀孕期间由于生理因素而改变，\'在她的身体解剖和荷尔蒙的变化。因此,这项研究的目的是评估女性怀孕后的性功能。
方法：一项前瞻性调查研究，包括148名孕妇。进行了一项匿名问卷，其中包括60项有关怀孕前和怀孕期间亲密关系的询问。使用以下统计检验：独立性的卡方检验，Spearman秩相关系数和Wilcoxon检验。假定P=0.05的显著性水平。
结果：大多数受访者年龄在31至40岁之间（55％）。大多数人结婚了（86%）。在怀孕期间,略多于一半的女性有适度的性交需求(51%)，其中很大一部分人的需求很低(32%)，17%的女性表示非常需要性交。相关分析显示,女性受教育程度与孕前性生活需要之间存在统计学上的显著关系(p=0.049)。受教育程度较高的受访者更经常感到怀孕前需要性交。在教育和怀孕后需要性交之间没有发现相关性（p=0.107）。怀孕后,51%的女性对性交的需求较少，7%以上，和怀孕前的42%一样，这些差异具有统计学意义（p<0.001）。此外，据报道,孕期对性交的满意度下降(p<0.001).怀孕后,大多数(71%)受访者的平均交往次数下降，怀孕前和怀孕期间的性交次数差异有统计学意义（p<0.001）。
结论：怀孕对女性的性行为有显著影响。怀孕后，大多数妇女宣布不需要性交，满意度较低的交往数量减少。
