N2  - This qualitative study of 10 rural women examines their lived experience of intimate partner violence during pregnancy and the first 2 postpartum years. In-depth interviews occurred during pregnancy and 4 times postpartum. A Heideggerian approach revealed "negotiating peril" as the overarching theme; sub-themes were unstable environment, adaptive calibration, primacy of motherhood, and numb acceptance. Some incremental shifts in severity of abusive situations were observed. <br><br>RESULTS elucidate the ambivalence with which these women view institutions that are designed to help them. <br><br>FINDINGS highlight factors that may explain why interventions designed to help often do not appear efficacious in facilitating complete termination of an abusive situation.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
