Domestic violence is such a horrible thing that can be done by a partner or ex-partner. It is more atrocious if done during pregnancy as two lives will be affected. In fact, a new study just revealed that domestic violence inflicted on pregnant women can result in adverse conditions on the expectant mother and more importantly, on the baby.
Science Daily reports that the cause of domestic violence during pregnancy can increase the risk of preterm birth, small-for-gestational-age babies and low birth weight, according to research. The study was published in BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology.
The researchers at the University of Iowa examined 50 cases of the effects of domestic violence done by a partner or ex-partner.
