Table 3 The trend of total sexual quality of life scores in the different groups (A = 50, B = 53, C = 51) during pregnancy

Time	1st trimester	2nd trimester	3rd trimester	End of pregnancy	Total	P-Value^a
Groups	Mean ± SD	Mean ± SD	Mean ± SD	Mean ± SD	Mean ± SD	P-Value^a
Group A	86.78 ± 15.37	47.74 ± 11.54	90.28 ± 11.64	89.04 ± 11.48	88.46 ± 9.59	P = 0.08
Group B	85.26 ± 12.99	86.96 ± 10.37	85.66 ± 6.61	81.81 ± 6.56	84.92 ± 7.96	P < 0.001
Group C	87.73 ± 13.36	86.96 ± 10.84	82.69 ± 10.04	79.90 ± 9.59	83.81 ± 8.85	P < 0.001
Total	85.91 ± 13.03	87.21 ± 10.85	86.18 ± 10.04	83.53 ± 10.11	85.73 ± 8.74
Effect Size	0.11	3.61	0.75	0.90	0.53
P-Value^b	P = 0.84	P = 0.91	P < 0.001¥	P < 0.001¥

^aThe repeated measures ANOVA
^bThe one-way ANOVA
¥: According to Tukey’s post-hoc test: There was a significant difference between the mean total scores of sexual quality of life and Group A-C and Group A-B (P < 0.05) but there was no significant difference between the mean total scores of sexual quality of life and Group B-C (P > 0.05)
