Everything is so terrible, I need advice.

Hi everyone,

I am 17 weeks pregnant and it's been mostly a terrible time.
My husband and I are not getting along at all. It's for several reasons. Some days he's not a nice guy, we fight constantly now, and his family is a huge problem.
I've written here before about his family and some ladies gave advice saying I did not have to let my baby go around anyone I wasn't comfortable with. I have already talked to my husband about this (he WAS feeling the same way, his family is bad news... then he changed his mind). The only person I was sort of okay with seeing the baby is his mother, but she tells the rest of the family everything anyway even though we've kindly asked her three times to stop. I am not okay with this. They are really bad people who I do not want to see and do not trust.
I am really stressed out and I have absolutely no one to talk to. I feel like I am getting depressed over this.  I have even contemplated abortion (although I know I could never do it), my point is before I became pregnant I would have never thought about it.
I don't know what to do.
I need help.

If I were you, I'd exclude his mother until she could respect your wishes. Don't let awful people steal the joy of motherhood from you. And your husband should respect your wishes even if he disagrees at first. Maybe try to find a middleground you both are comfortable.

I am so sorry! Everything about having a baby is wonderful EXCEPT all the people that decide they know better than you and try to take these special moments from you.  You and your husband need to be able to sit down and have a quiet talk about this, no attacking eachother or each others family.  But you need to discuss how you can keep these joyous,  special moments just that and politely (or not so politely if they can't get it) to let that happen.  It is notgood for you or fair for you to be this stressed out.  I am so sorry! People can be the worst! Good luck!
