OBJECTIVE: With this study, the variables of the sexual life of pregnant women and the scope of their sexual life. MATERIAL and METHODS: It is a descriptive, cross-sectional study. The study was conducted with 113 pregnant women who applied to the Gynecology Polyclinic of Suluova State Hospital and Amasya Sabuncuoğlu Training and Research Hospital between January 20 and March 20, 2023, and agreed to participate in the study. Data were collected using a 25-question survey containing personal data and the Sexual Life Quality-Female scale. Written consent was obtained from people who agreed to participate in the study. The data were analyzed using the IBM Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) package program according to %, frequency and normality distribution using the Mann-Whitney U test. P <0.05 was accepted as the limit of statistical significance. RESULTS: The average age of pregnant women is 28.12±5.72, and the average week of pregnancy is 32.53±7.88. The average sexual life quality scale score of the pregnant women participating in the study was 80.86±14.76. The total score of the scale was found to be statistically significant in terms of pregnant women’s perception of their level of sexual desire (p=0.001). The sexual desire level of those who answered none was found to be higher than those who answered low, medium and high. A statistically significant difference was found between those who answered none and moderate. Orgasm frequency and scale total score were found to be statistically significant (p=0.001). It was found to be statistically significant between those who never experience orgasm and those who always experience orgasm, and between those who sometimes experience orgasm and those who always experience orgasm (p=0.001 and p=0.000). The Cronbach alpha value of the scale was found to be 0.87. CONCLUSION: It was observed that the sexual life quality scale score of the pregnant women participating in the study was high. Due to the limited number of pregnant women, studies reaching more pregnant women are needed. Keywords: midwife, pregnancy, quality of life, sexuality
