Domestic abuse is associated with many negative outcomes in pregnancy such as premature birth, low birth weight, fetal injury and fetal death. However, abuse does not just have to be physical, a psychologically controlling partner that appears to make all the decisions for the pregnant women can be just as harmful.

How do you cope with the domineering partner? Should midwives do more to help these beleaguered women find their voice?
