“…The sample of the present study consisted mostly of women who: were primigravidae; married; Catholic and Protestant in similar rates; employed; had high-school degrees; did not use alcohol or illicit drugs during pregnancy; did not have the habit of using condoms; and reported that the pregnancy was not planned. This population is similar to that found in the Brazilian study 14 that created the score for the PSRI, except in relation to the level of schooling, which had a more homogenous distribution between those with elementary and high-school levels of schooling. 14 There was a reduction in the frequency of sexual intercourse during pregnancy, a finding that was already observed in previous studies.…”

“…The final score is categorized into quartiles by sexual response, as follows: 0 to 25 ¼ "very bad"; 25 to 50 ¼ "bad"; 50 to 75 ¼ "good"; and 75 to 100 ¼ "excelent". 14 A Microsoft Excel (Microsoft, Redmond, WA, US) spreadsheet was used for the development of the database, with double entry for validation. The Stata software (StataCorp LLC, College Station, TX, US), version 12.1, was used for the statistical analyses.…”

Objective To determine the prevalence of sexual dysfunction and its associated factors in pregnant women. Methods A descriptive, cross-sectional study including 262 pregnant women aged 18 years or older with gestational age between 10 and 35 weeks. Women with urinary tract infections and conditions of gestational risk were excluded. The Pregnancy Sexual Response Inventory (PSRI) questionnaire was used. We performed a univariate descriptive analysis, and comparisons between the mean values of the sexual function domains were made using the Student t-test. The chi-squared test was used to determine the association between the independent and dependent variables. The prevalence ratios, with their respective 95% confidence intervals, were also estimated, and a multivariate analysis was performed. Results A total of 64.9% of women reported a decrease in the frequency of sexual activity during pregnancy. Slightly more than half of the women (50.8%) were satisfied, and arousal was reported as excellent/good by 30.5% of them. The frequency of sexual difficulties/dysfunctions increased with pregnancy, rising from 5.7% to 58.8%, and pain during sexual intercourse was reported by 45.8% of them. Having higher education degree decreased the chance of being sexually dissatisfied by 50%. The total PSRI score showed a significant decrease from the prepregnancy period (mean score = 89.8, “excellent”) to the pregnancy period (mean score = 59.2, “good”). Conclusion The mean sexual function score during pregnancy was classified as good, although most pregnant women reported at least one type of alteration in the sexual function domains, and the report of dissatisfaction was more frequent in women with lower schooling.

“…They found that the total score of sexual activity and response decreased during pregnancy compared to pre-pregnancy. They also found that the scores of all the domains, except for the dyspareunia, decreased during pregnancy compared to pre-pregnancy and that the mean score for dyspareunia during pregnancy was slightly lower than the mean score before pregnancy [18]. In a review study on the sexual behaviors of pregnant women, Jawed-Wessel et al found a gradual decrease in the number of sexual intercourses from the first trimester of pregnancy to the third, and also a reduction of the number of sexual intercourses during pregnancy compared to pre-pregnancy [24].…”

Background: Pregnancy is one of the most sensitive periods in a woman's life, which sexual activity and intercourse are affected by the variations in physical, hormonal, and mental conditions. This study aimed to investigate the factors affecting the variations in sexual response before and during pregnancy. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on pregnant women at Rasht city (northern Iran), 2018. The data were collected using the pregnancy sexual response inventory (PSRI). Statistical analysis was performed using descriptive and inferential tests by SPSS 25 at a significance level of P<0.05. Results: The mean total score of sexual activity and response of the subjects before and during pregnancy were 73.04 ± 14.81 and 46.88 ± 16.51, respectively. The variations in the total score of sexual activity and response during pregnancy decreased by 26.16 points during pregnancy compared to before pregnancy. There was a positive correlation between the number of children and the score of the variations in sexual activity and response before and during pregnancy (r=0.143). Conclusion: Couples with a higher level of education and a lower number of children had fewer variations in their sexual response. Therefore, it is possible to enhance the couples' sexual health through encouraging them to appropriately plan for childbearing, to share the responsibilities of taking care of their children, and to continue their education at higher levels.
