With an increase in the rate of blunt and penetrating traumas, the occurrence of such events has increased in pregnancy.

This study was done to determine the outcomes of trauma in pregnant women referring to Kerman educational hospitals. Materials & Methods: In this cross-sectional study, the computerized patients’ records at Kerman educational hospital were used and a list was prepared. This list included all pregnant women suffering trauma from 2003 until 2009.
