You need to get the hell away from him before he hurts you AND/OR the baby that you are carrying. If he does, you will never forgive yourself for allowing him to beat on you, especially while your pregnant. It is never to late to leave, until he's killed you, and that is most likely what will end up happening someday. Some people think that when one partner is cheating, that they become paranoid and act overly jealous about the faithful one because they know that THEY are doing something wrong. Did he hit you before you got pregnant? Does he want the baby? How did he react when you found out that you were pregnant? He needs to go to jail, call the police on him the next time he hits you and while he's in there, move so that he has no idea where you are. You need to be strong, you are a mommy now and your baby needs you to take care of and protect him or her, even if that means raising them alone. You can do it, I know you can. You don't deserve to be hit and you will be so much happier away from him. I hope this helps out. Good luck and please let me know what happens...
