If you are in an abusive relationship, I can't stress enough how important it is that you get help. Your provider can suggest a resource to help you right now. Please don't be afraid to talk about this problem with them. Now that you're pregnant, your baby is depending on you to keep you both safe from harm. One in six women are abused, and battered women are more likely to have miscarriages, premature babies or babies that are underweight.
