One hundred and fourteen (42%) had experienced domestic violence pre\u2010pregnancy and 69 (60.5%) of these women experienced further domestic violence during pregnancy. Emotional violence was commonest 80\/270 (29.6%) and no sexual violence was reported. Domestic violence declined from 42% (pre\u2010pregnancy) to 31.1% (in\u2010pregnancy) (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u20090.009). Risk factors during pregnancy were young age (15\u201324\u2009years; OR 5.8, 95% CI1.65\u201320.38), nulliparity (OR 3.75, 95% CI 1.90\u20137.41), and partner's alcohol consumption (OR 5.04, 95% CI 2.50\u201310.13).
