AB Sexuality is a central aspect for all human beings. Research into the prevalence of sexualdysfunction in pregnant Spanish women is scarce. The aim of this work is to examine the prevalenceof risk of sexual dysfunctions in pregnant Spanish women and determine in which trimester thegreatest difficulties in sexual response occur. The sample consisted of 180 pregnant Spanish women,with an average age of 32.03 years (SD = 4.93). The participants completed a questionnaire forsocio-demographic data, as well as the female sexual function index, the state/trait depressioninventory, and the dyadic adjustment scale. The results indicate that the percentage of womenwith a risk of sexual dysfunction was 65% in the first trimester and 81.11% in the third trimester.Likewise, the highest score on the depression questionnaire was in the third trimester, and thecouple’s relationship also improved in the third trimester. To improve women’s sex lives duringpregnancy, it is recommended to increase sexual education and information for both pregnant womenand their partners.
