How pregnant women take on and define their roles as mothers in
two-parent families is affected by their experiences of intimate partner
violence and abuse.
This in turn influences how pregnant women feel about themselves as new
mothers. I will present findings from my research, which was to develop an
in-depth understanding of pregnant women’s decision-making related to
staying in or leaving an abusive intimate partner relationship.
