    Is a quantitative descriptive, correlational and prospective study. Its aim was to find out how family violence influences in babies with a birth weight whose mothers was attended in the gynecology and obstetrics service of Hospital II - 2 Tarapoto (Peru), during the months from April to July of 2013. We considered various forms of family violence: physical, psychological, sexual and economic. The sample was the group of 129 women attending in this health center. Two techniques were used for data collection: survey (with a questionnaire instrument of twenty closed questions) and participant observation. This questionnaire measured the variable “family violence”. We also used an information sheet for newborn data. We applied the Excel 0.8 program for data tabulation. SPSS was used to make two-way tables and to make the graphs as column and pie charts. This program was also used to create the frequency analysis. Statistical analysis of the results was obtained by using our instrument for this study. The results show among women who are victims of domestic violence during pregnancy was 67.4% (87), of which 69 of them are more likely to have low birth weight babies was greater than those mothers who did not suffer any violence (42). Mental violence during pregnancy (96.5%) was greater than physical, sexual and economic violence. In conclusion, violence during pregnancy is a common occurrence in our society (10%) and also it tends to be more severe in the stage of reproductive life. The results propose a series of measures such as stepping up checks and continuing process evaluation of violence in pregnancy. Operational studies is recommended in health centers so that we can check up measures and monitoring the prenatal care process in abused women, so in this way reduce the risk of low birth weight newborns.
