Changes and quality of sex life of pregnant women

Uvod: Čas nosečnosti prinese veliko sprememb, ki vplivajo na spremembe v spolnem odnosu in na doživljanje spolnosti v času nosečnosti. V zaključnem delu smo želeli ugotoviti, do kakšnih sprememb prihaja pri spolnih odnosih v času nosečnosti in kako to vpliva na njihovo kakovost. Metode: Uporabljena je bila kvantitativna metodologija raziskovanja, podatke smo pridobili s pomočjo anketnega vprašalnika. Anketiranje je potekalo preko spletnega okolja 1ka. V raziskavi je sodelovalo 163 nosečnic v zadnjem trimesečju nosečnosti in 87 žensk, ki so rodile pred največ pol leta pred začetkom raziskave. Rezultate smo statistično obdelali s pomočjo programov Microsoft Word in Excel 2019. Rezultati: Ugotovili smo, da se skozi trimesečja zmanjšuje pogostost spolnih odnosov, predvsem je razlika ugotovljena med tistimi, pri katerih so spolni odnosi pred nosečnostjo potekali vsaj tri- ali večkrat na teden. Zmanjšana je tudi kakovost spolnih odnosov (povprečna ocena kakovosti spolnih odnosov anketirank je bila v času nosečnosti za 2,82 nižja kot pred nosečnostjo). Največjo težavo oziroma vzrok za zmanjšanje pogostosti spolnih odnosov predstavljajo odsvetovani spolni odnosi (32 %), rastoč trebuh (17 %), strah pred škodovanjem plodu (15 %) ter slabost in bruhanje (12 %). Razprava in sklep: Spremembe, ki se pojavljajo v času nosečnosti, lahko vplivajo na partnerski odnos. Kakovost spolnega življenja se z vsakim tromesečjem v primerjavi s časom pred nosečnostjo slabša, zaradi prisotnih sprememb. Zato je pomembno, da imajo pari tudi možnost svetovanja glede spolnih aktivnosti v času nosečnosti.Introduction: The time of pregnancy brings many changes that affect changes in sexual intercourse and the very experience of sexuality during pregnancy. In the final part, we wanted to find out what changes occur in sexual intercourse during pregnancy and how this affects their quality. Methods: Quantitative research methodology was used, data were obtained using a questionnaire. The survey was conducted via the 1ka online environment. The study involved 163 pregnant women in the last trimester of pregnancy and 87 women who gave birth no more than six months before the start of the study. The results were statistically processed using Microsoft Word and Excel 2019. Results: We found that the frequency of sexual intercourse decreases during the trimesters, especially the difference between those in whom sexual intercourse took place before pregnancy at least three or more times a week. The quality of sexual intercourse is also reduced (the average assessment of female respondents regarding the quality of sexual intercourse was 2.82 lower during pregnancy than before pregnancy). The biggest problem or reason for the decrease in sexual intercourse is advised against sexual intercourse) (32 %), growing stomach (17 %), fear of harm to the fetus (15%) and nausea and vomiting (12 %). Discussion and conclusion: Changes that occur during pregnancy can affect a partnership. The quality of sexual life deteriorates with each trimester compared to the time before pregnancy, due to the changes present. It is therefore important that couples also have the option of counseling on sexual activities during pregnancy
