2. The mean, scores of state-anxiety and trait-anxiety of respondents were 44.94, 42.40 and, multigravida´s state-anxiety (46.68) was higher than primigravida´s state-anxiety (43.33).
3. The analysis of variance between state anxiety and sexual activity included sexual desire, sexual satisfaction and length of sexual intercourse showed the significant difference. (p<0.001)
