Aim: To evaluate changes in women's sexuality during pregnancy. Methods: Cross-sectional study on a sample of 74 pregnant women. We collected data on educational, socio-economic and cultural level, age, duration of cohabitation, sexual habits, satisfaction with their sex life and sexual education received. Results: Women's sexual interest is decreased with pregnancy. Weekly frequency of intercourse is also decreased. Over 50% of respondents are satisfied with their sex life, even for a small part of them increases interest and improves their sex life during pregnancy. Almost all respondents have frequent no genitals meetings, these meetings are very desirable for themselves and for their partners.
