Domestic violence during pregnancy Pregnancy is usually an exciting and special time in a woman's life. While you cherish the new life growing inside you, those around you care for and cherish you. But for some women this is not the case. Pregnancy can be a stressful and fearful time if you are experiencing abuse in your relationship. If you are experiencing abuse in your relationship, you are not alone. Sadly, it is very common. In a survey conducted by the Rotunda hospital found that 1 in 8 women surveyed were being abused by their partner. It is also known that 30% of women who experience domestic violence are physically assaulted for the first time during pregnancy. That is what happened to Jane, who rang the Women's Aid National Freephone Helpline to talk about her experiences. Jane told us: "When I was pregnant he became more aggressive and violent, I was sick for the first three months and was tired all the time. I just wanted to sleep when I wasn't working, but he said I was being selfish and insensitive to him." Read more of Jane's account here. If you are experiencing abuse during your pregnancy you could talk to someone today. Tell a friend or a loved one or call the Women's Aid National Freephone Helpline 1800 341 900 (10am to 10pm).

An bhfuil cuidiú de dhíth ort? Ar chliceáil tú ar an rannán seo toisc go bhfuil eagla ort roimh dhuine éigin a bhfuil dlúthchaidreamh agat leo? Más é sin an cás, tá céim thábhachtach agus dhearfach glactha agat agus tá súil againn gur féidir linn cuidiú leat agus tú a choinneáil sábháilte. Má cheapann tú go bhfuil tú i gcontúirt láithreach cliceáil anseo le do thoil. Mura gceapann, léigh leat. Níl tú leat féin má cheapann tú go bhfuil rud éigin i do chaidreamh nach bhfuil i gceart. B'fhéidir go raibh roinnt comharthaí rabhaidh ann. Tarlaíonn foréigean baile do bhean amháin as cúigear in Éirinn. Cloisimid ó mhná a bhfuil eagla a n-anama orthu roimh a mbuachaillí, a bhfir chéile agus a bpáirtithe. Tarlaíonn mí-úsáid dóibh corruair nuair a bhíonn deireadh lena gcaidreamh. Cé is féidir liom labhairt leis? Tuigimid cé chomh deacair is atá sé cad atá ag tarlú duit a thuiscint. Is féidir leis a bheith deacair labhairt faoi do chás, fiú le do dhlúthbhaill teaghlaigh agus do dhlúthchairde féin. D'fhéadfadh sé go bhfuil tú ag mothú uaigneach agus leat féin. B'fhéidir gur inis do pháirtí duit go ngortódh sé tú má insíonn tú do dhuine ar bith eile cad atá ag tarlú. B'fhéidir gur inis tú do dhuine éigin é agus gur iarr siad ort é a fhágáil, rith ar shiúl, imigh uaidh. Ach tá a fhios againn nach bhfuil sé chomh furasta sin. Níl an ceart ag do pháirtí chun tú a rialú agus a smachtú. Níor cheart duit imní a bheith ort faoin dóigh a fhreagróidh sé ar rudaí a dhéanann tú. Is coir é foréigean baile agus níor cheart go gcuirfí bagairt ar dhuine ar bith, go mbuailfí iad nó go mbeadh eagla a n-anama orthu. B'fhéidir go mothaíonn tú go bhfuil an locht ortsa ar chúis éigin as an mí-úsáid. D'fhéadfadh sé gur inis do pháirtí nó duine éigin eile duit gur tusa is ciontaigh. Ach níl sé sin fíor. Tá do pháirtí freagrach as an mí-úsáid. Agus ní féidir le duine ar bith eile ach é féin é a stopadh. Coinnigh cuimhne - tá an céad agat a bheith sábháilte i do bhaile féin agus a bheith sábháilte agus meas a bheith ort i do chaidreamh. Cén dóigh ar féidir le Grúpa Cúnta na mBan cuidiú?

Éistimid leat agus labhraímid leat faoi do chás. Ní cháinfimid tú nó ní hinseoimid duit cad le déanamh. Ní hinseoimid do dhuine ar bith eile go ndearnadh teagmháil linn. Is féidir linn do roghanna a phlé agus cuidiú leat do shábháilteacht a phleanáil. Is féidir linn tacaíocht a thabhairt duit leis na roghanna éagsúla atá ar fáil duit a scrúdú.
