Abstract

The active lifestyle of pregnant women, in combination with the increased incidence of violence in society, place women at greater risk for accidental injury during pregnancy. This identification of increased risk has altered the health care management of mother and fetus after injury. The health care provider treating this patient population must perform thorough maternal-fetal assessments and be suspicious of fetal compromise, even in the face of maternal stability.
