The results of this study suggest that pregnant and parenting battered women have complex needs that call for medical and social service providers’ attention. Participants reported significant levels of both physical and nonphysical abuse and they experienced a range of barriers, such as homelessness, fear of their partners, and lack of access to prenatal care. Despite study limitations, the study illustrates some of the experiences of pregnant and parenting women experiencing domestic violence and highlights issues that service providers should attend to with this group of clients. Domestic violence is one of the leading health risks to women in the United States. For pregnant and parenting women living with an abusive partner the risk to their safety and the outcome of their pregnancies, as well as the risk to their children, increases dramatically. This article presents survey and open-ended interview data from participants in an innovative program for pregnant and parenting battered women and examines the health status of mothers and newborns, their experience and perception of both physical and nonphysical abuse, and their challenges to prenatal care.
