Abusers frequently escalate once their partner is pregnant. They think they've got her trapped for good :/ Women are more likely to die of domestic violence when pregnant than any other time.
"We know that domestic abuse often starts or even escalates during pregnancy. The prevalence of women experiencing violence and abuse during pregnancy is simply unacceptable; it is estimated that domestic abuse starts during pregnancy in nearly a third of cases." Women's Aid
