Pregnant women will be randomized according to the last digit of their protocol number. Pregnant women divided into control and intervention groups will be given PLISSIT model-based sexual health education to the intervention group and a clinical procedure will be applied to the control group. The Sexual Attitude Scale during Pregnancy and the Female Sexual Distress Scale will be administered simultaneously. Four weeks after the training, the FSFI application and the Sexual Attitude Scale during Pregnancy and the Female Sexual Distress Scale will be administered again.
