| Abstrakt: | The article explores trauma in pregnancy. Trauma represents the leading cause of non-obstetric causes of death in pregnancy. Around one out of 14 pregnant women will experience some kind of significant trauma during their pregnancy. The main cause of fetal death is maternal death secondary to blunt abdominal trauma. Motor vehicle accidents account for over 50% of blunt trauma in pregnancy, followed by falls and assaults. Domestic violence in pregnancy has also received attention in literature. |
