Introduction: The gestational process promotes physical and emotional changes in women's bodies that may trigger several feelings and affect their sexual lives Objective: To evaluate gestational satisfaction and the occurrence of sexual changes in pregnant women and to check whether there is an association between gestational satisfaction and sexual changes. Methods: The study included 32 pregnant women who answered an online questionnaire. To evaluate gestational satisfaction the PES Brief Pregnancy Experience Scale was used and for sexual changes the Pregnancy Sexuality Questionnaire was used. The free software R 4.0.2 was used for correlation and mean comparison tests, with a significance level of 5%. Results: the frequency of enthusiasm reported by pregnant women was higher than that of boredom. There was a decrease in sexual function in the current gestational trimester compared to before pregnancy, with a reduction in orgasm intensity (-2.0, p= 0.003), frequency of intercourse (p=0.0006) and at least 50% of pregnant women experienced worsening or maintenance of the importance of sex in their lives (p<0.001). No correlations of gestational perception with sexual function were found, except for orgasm intensity and enthusiasm intensity (R=0.5, p=0.1). Conclusion: The evaluation of the perception of women's experience with gestation is positive, there was a significant decrease in sexual function highlighting the reduction of sexual frequency. The correlation of the perception of gestation with sexual function was weak, except for the intensity of orgasm that presented moderate correlation with enthusiasm for gestation
