Domestic violence while pregnant

[Shaybabi1988]

my boyfriend has problems putting his hands on me he's hit me n my head and pulled my hair and I was 12 weeks pregnant.Threatened to beat the baby out of me and said several times before that he wish I would have a miscarriage. I feel bad he's done something extreme recently and while incarcerated I put a restraining order on him did I do the right thing

U absolutely did the right thing!  My x started putting his hands on me saying those exact same things... He even threatened to slit my throat and cut our baby out of me... Now I am 14weeks single and getting back on my feet on my own... His loss... U will be okay and do great... Stay positive and never accept and apology from him because if he's done it once then he will do it again.  Trust me!  If u need someone to talk to u can message me. U r strong.  U r beautiful. U got this. :)

I actually had two close friend loose there children due to abusive boyfriends because they thought they would change but that decision changed there life and they will never meet there babies because of what those cowards did . For your baby's life and yours stay far far Away from that THING called a man, if you get depressed or sad reach out get help there are other people in your situation that can help you (: good luck momma

Absolutely never see him again ...it's you and your baby now...forget about him ..

Any man who treats a woman this way is a coward. He will never change. Something has gone wrong in his life where he doesn't see abusing women as wrong.. What ever the issue is most likely will never change. My heart hurts thinking of u getting hit in the head and everything else he's done. That is sooo wrong. You made the best decision getting a restrain order. I would advise u to stay away from him and get some counseling. Take care

You did the right thing and please stay strong and don't even have a second thought of giving him another chance bc he will change.  Take this as an learning experience and be careful on picking a guy in the future before getting pregnant. Wish you luck!

You should absolutely not doubt yourself! You most certainly did the right thing for you and your baby! I m so sorry and I can't imagine how scary it must be to be in a situation like that. You should stay away from him for good. Even if he says that he will change and he wants you back, things might be better at first, but for how long? If he thinks that behavior is acceptable then he is sorely mistaken. My Mom told me a story once about how she and my Dad were arguing when my Mom was pregnant with my older sister. My Mom was cooking spaghetti and my Dad reached out to grab or hit her and she took the metal strainer she was using and swung it and struck him in the head with it. From that moment on he never put his hands on her again. You need to make this stand and try your best and not let him hurt you anymore. And even though my Dad never hit my Mom again he was extremely emotionally and mentally abusive to my Mom which still affects her to this day. My parents have been separated for 10 years and my Mom is barely able to scrape together self esteem because of my Dad. So what I am saying is that even if your boyfriend, hopefully soon to be ex-boyfriend, never physically hurts you he can do just as much damage emotionally and mentally. The scars from emotional abuse take just as long or longer to heal than scars of physical abuse. Don't let him have that power over you. You deserve better! Your baby is better of not knowing their Dad than having one who could very possibly abuse them also. Stay strong!
