Get out now! If you need help there are shelters for abused women, and there is no listing or address for them, so it would be hard for your boyfriend to find where you are. You need to leave, you obviously love this child, and if you stay, you are putting not only yourself but your unborn child in extreme danger. I would hate to see you lose this precious baby before you even get to see him or her. Right now you need to think more about the health and safety of your unborn child, than giving up or worrying about hurting your boyfriend. If you want I can certainly find some numbers for battered womens homes. If you don't want to go this route, stay with a friend or family member. Whatever you do don't tell him, or anyone that would possibly tell him you are leaving. Start taking little necessities, a little at a time and store them somewhere, so when you are ready to leave, you can just go. Please get out for the sake of you unborn baby, and yourself. I will be praying for you two, and hope you decide to do the right thing for both of you. I wish you the best of everything with your pregnancy. Serenitey
