Summary/Abstract: Pregnancy is an unforgettable period of every woman’s life. However one should not forget it is also a period of numerous changes taking place both in her body and in her environment. A woman has to face many responsibilities and reevaluate her life. She begins to think not only about herself and the partner, but also (and sometimes first of all) about the child developing in her womb. The changes include also her sexuality, which is affected by many factors, e.g. the physiology of pregnancy, self-perception of attractiveness, sexual life before pregnancy, relationship quality, culture. In this study we wanted to examine the correlation between the need and frequency of sexual contacts of pregnant women and their chosen personality traits. The study involved 60 women aged 19-40 years. The study used a test of the NEO-FFI, STAI and Mell-scale Gratings. As it turned out negative correlation between the need of sexual contacts exists at pregnant women and with level of fear as the feature. They also made a note essential statistically positive link between the need of sexual contacts at pregnant women and with level of the extroversion.
