    Domestic violence during pregnancy is often linked to the severity of abuse throughout the relationship. Reasons for abuse during pregnancy include jealousy, anger towards the unborn child, or it being business as usual.

    Area of Science:

    • Sociology
    • Public Health
    • Psychology

    Background:

    • Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a significant public health issue.
    • Pregnancy can be a period of increased vulnerability to IPV for some women.
    • Understanding the specific dynamics of abuse during pregnancy is crucial for targeted interventions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the reasons women experienced physical abuse from their partners during pregnancy.
    • To identify potential differences between women abused during pregnancy and those not abused during pregnancy, despite both being in abusive relationships.

    Main Methods:

    • An exploratory study involving 79 women who had experienced intimate partner violence.
    • Comparison of women abused during pregnancy (n=27) with those not abused during pregnancy (n=24), both having conceived with the abusive partner.

  • Thematic analysis of women's reported reasons for experiencing abuse during pregnancy.

    • Main Results:

    • Women abused during pregnancy experienced more frequent and severe abuse throughout the relationship compared to those not abused during pregnancy.
    • Key themes identified for abuse during pregnancy included jealousy of the unborn child, anger towards the unborn child, pregnancy-specific violence unrelated to the fetus, and continuation of pre-existing abuse patterns ('business as usual').

    Conclusions:

    • The severity and frequency of overall relationship abuse appear to be significant factors in whether abuse extends into pregnancy.
    • Identifying specific motivations for abuse during pregnancy can inform healthcare providers, particularly nurses, in assessing and intervening effectively.
    • Targeted interventions are needed to address the unique challenges and risks faced by pregnant women experiencing domestic violence.
