The study will be carried out in two different groups. After the women are evaluated in terms of eligibility criteria for the research, the eligible pregnant women will be informed about the research and written informed consent will be obtained from those who accept. Random distribution of pregnant women to study groups will be made using the Block Randomization method. The following applications will be made to the groups.

Education Group: Women in the experimental group will be given education on sexual life during pregnancy. Before the training, preliminary data will be collected and then the participants will be given two hours of individual and face-to-face training.

At the end of the training, homework will be given to pregnant women to practice at home, including "sharing their sexual feelings and thoughts with their spouse, sharing problems and concerns about sexuality during pregnancy, and using alternative ways other than sexual intercourse. In addition, a "Sexual Life in Pregnancy Information Booklet" will be given, and they will be asked to read the information in the booklet and share it with their spouses. After 4 weeks, the data sheets will be applied again.

Control Group: Patients in the control group of the study will not be subjected to any treatment other than the routine procedure. Data collection forms will be applied to the patients in the control group at the beginning of the study and after 4 weeks.
