A cross-sectional study was carried out among 134 antenatal clinic attendees in a Nigerian tertiary hospital to assess pregnancy-related sexual beliefs and changes in sexual frequency and response. Information was collected through a semi-structured questionnaire, and analysed by SPSS. Only 15% of women believed that religious, social or cultural reasons prevented sexual intercourse in pregnancy. Frequency of sexual intercourse decreased in pregnancy in 37.4% of the respondents, remained unaltered in 46.1% and increased in 16.5%. Age, marriage duration and gestational age were not associated with change in the pattern of coital frequency in pregnancy, but education was significantly associated. Sexual responsiveness diminished in approximately half of our respondents in terms of arousal (54.5%), orgasm (48.5%), pleasure (43.7%) and satisfaction (51.4%). The changes were not associated with pregnancy duration. We concluded that sex in pregnancy is well accepted in our environment, and health workers should promote sexual health and well-being in pregnancy.
在尼日利亚一家三级医院对134名产前门诊就诊者进行了一项横断面研究，以评估与妊娠相关的性观念以及性交频率和反应的变化。通过半结构化问卷收集信息，并使用SPSS进行分析。只有15%的女性认为宗教、社会或文化原因会阻止孕期性交。37.4%的受访者孕期性交频率降低，46.1%保持不变，16.5%增加。年龄、婚姻持续时间和孕周与孕期性交频率模式的变化无关，但教育程度与之显著相关。在我们大约一半的受访者中，性反应在性唤起（54.5%）、性高潮（48.5%）、快感（43.7%）和满意度（51.4%）方面有所下降。这些变化与妊娠持续时间无关。我们得出结论，在我们的环境中，孕期性行为是被广泛接受的，卫生工作者应促进孕期性健康和幸福。
