Notes:	This paper is divided in three brief parts. The first presents an overview of the definitional dilemmas in research and practice in domestic violence. The second section defines violence, and the last part focuses on domestic violence in pregnancy. A literature review of Australian and international research on the prevalence, characteristics and consequences of domestic abuse during pregnancy is provided. The author presents her current research on the topic, which reveals that 25 per cent of the interviewed women have been abused by their partners. It has also been found that the fear of public authority and social pressure prevent women from disclosing the violence.
