    I don’t blame you one bit for thinking you married the wrong person. In fact I did. My ex was so consumed with making money, he didn’t consider the stress that work put on my pregnant body. Not only are you his wife, but the soon-to-be mother of his child, and you deserve more respect and consideration. He needs to understand this. I would try counseling before you consider anything else

    As far as keeping the baby, that is something that nobody can tell you what to do. You may be overcome with love for you child once it is born, or because of your stressful circumstances, may not bond with him/her right away.

    Have you considered moving in with you mom? I moved in with my parents after the divorce, having two kids of my own, and not making enough money to support us all. You need a solid support system right now. Being pregnant then having a new born is one of the hardest of life’s challenges. Maybe you could try a support group for pregnant women. I am not encouraging you to leave your husband, I am however, telling you that you have options.

    If you do look for another job, be sure and imply to your possible employer that you are familiar with anti-discrimination laws. It is against the law to discriminate against women who are pregnant. Your current employer needs to understand that he/she is putting undue stress on your body, and they could be sued for workers comp if they cause you or the fetus harm. Here is a government link on this matter: https://www.eeoc.gov/laws/types/pregnancy.cfm

    I hope you find some or all of this helpful. You need to empower yourself, and don’t let anyone push you around
    Peace to you, my friend

    Christin
