      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Single blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Education/Guidance, Randomization description: Blocked random allocation method will be used to randomly assign samples to two intervention groups (consultation based on Ex-PLISSIT model) and control group. This method is usually used to balance the number of samples allocated to each of the studied groups. This feature helps the researcher to have the same number of samples assigned to the intervention and control groups of the study in cases where intermediate analyzes are needed during the sampling process. 15 blocks of 4 will be used for allocation, in each block two samples will be considered for the control group and two samples for the intervention group. Random Allocation software 2 will be used to allocate samples to each block after numbering the samples, Blinding description: The Investigator and statistical consultant are blinded, and the pregnant women who meet the inclusion criteria are divided into two groups of 30 people, intervention and control, by random block assignment. By using computer software and choosing a block of four, we randomly assign 60 people into two groups A (intervention group) and B (control group). Based on the list extracted from the software, 60 envelopes are prepared and numbers 1 to 60 are written on them, and group A and group B are written inside them based on the list. According to the order of the pregnant mother, one envelope is considered for each mother. If the letter A is written inside the paper, it will be the intervention group and if the word B is written inside the paper, it will be the control group. The mother is not informed about the codes, and the people who are placed in the groups will be given to the evaluator by the liaison, and for data analysis, the code will be handed over to the professor of statistics.</study_design>

      <hc_freetext>Sexual Function and quality of life of pregnant women.</hc_freetext>
      <i_freetext>Intervention group: In the intervention group, people will receive 4, 45-minute counseling sessions at an interval of one week, face-to-face and individually. Counseling according to the Ex-PLISSIT model takes place at 4 levels of permission (P), limited information (LI), specific suggestions (SS)) and intensive treatment (IT). The first level of the permission level (P) of the counselor by normalizing and creating a safe and private environment and a suitable therapeutic atmosphere, the client is given permission and opportunity to talk about the problem, feelings and sexual desires. By actively listening and communicating effectively and respecting the client's values and beliefs and away from any judgmental behavior, the counselor hears the client's problems and sexual disorders and communicates with the client using understandable words and language. The second level of limited information (LI) is limited and non-specialized information provided to clients. Providing information, knowledge and awareness about sexual relations and sexual health is one of the important aspects of health care. Giving information about sexual relations during pregnancy in the form of a brochure is given to all pregnant women in the intervention group, but at this stage, the first stage continues, and pregnant mothers are told that a brochure has been prepared by the research team and contains information. It is given to you about sex during pregnancy. Would you like to read it? After reading, you can ask any questions you have and we will be happy to answer them. Do you have any other questions about this? The third stage of special suggestions (SS)) In this stage, the consultant has identified the problems and expectations of the clients and based on the problem solving approach, information is given to deal with the specific problem of each person, for example giving sexual position Suitable for a mother who complains of back or abdominal pain during sexual intercourse or a mother who does not want to have intercourse due to infection. The fourth stage of intensive treatment (IT) may be pregnant mothers with complex physical or mental problems and It is interpersonal where there is a need for specialized intervention to deal with individual issues, for example referral to a gynecologist or a psychiatrist. People who need more specific counseling are referred to a sexologist or will receive more specific counseling based on their needs, and follow-up is done immediately after the intervention and 12 weeks after the intervention..</i_freetext>
