No: It is not known if sexual orientation is genetic, metabolic, or what, but your thoughts will not directly affect your unborn child. If you have not previously had a homosexual or bisexual orientation, a change in thoughts about sex could even be hormonal. Many women have changes in their thought process during pregnancy.

Sexual Orientation: A person's sexual orientation dictates their attraction to same or opposite sex individuals. Current thinking is that sexual orientation is establish by the time a person is born. We do not know what factors influence or determine a person's sexual orientation. There is no evidence to support that one's orientation could be influenced by a mother's orientation. Further research is needed.
