You Deserve Safety and Respect
Abuse can take many forms, not just physical harm. It may include:
- Verbal or emotional abuse, such as insults, threats, or constant criticism.
- Financial control, where your partner withholds money or restricts your independence.
- Manipulation or pressure, especially surrounding your pregnancy decisions.
- Isolation, keeping you away from friends, family, or support systems.
None of these behaviors is acceptable. Every person deserves to feel safe, respected, and supported. If your partner is controlling or threatening you, it’s not your fault, and help is available.
How Abuse Can Affect Your Health and Pregnancy
Abuse during pregnancy can put both your physical and emotional health at risk. High levels of stress, fear, or physical injury can contribute to complications such as preterm labor, low birth weight, or other serious concerns.
If you’re in immediate danger, call 911 right away. You can also reach the National Domestic Violence Hotline anytime at 800-799-7233 for free, confidential assistance. Trained advocates can help you create a safety plan, connect you with shelters, and guide you through the next steps.
Creating a Safety Plan and Support System
Having a personal safety plan can help you feel more prepared and secure. Consider these steps:
- Identify a trusted friend, family member, or neighbor you can contact in an emergency.
- Keep essential items, like identification, keys, money, and medications, in an easily accessible place.
- Memorize key phone numbers in case you lose access to your phone.
- Learn about local shelters and organizations that specialize in domestic violence.
At Vie Medical Clinic, we can help connect you with community resources, shelters, counseling services, and legal aid. You don’t have to take these steps alone.

We are here to listen and provide compassionate support. We’ll also help you explore your pregnancy options safely and privately, at your own pace.
Whether you need someone to talk to or connections to local resources, Vie Medical Clinic is here for you. You matter, and your safety is our top priority.
