Ending Relationship During Pregnancy

My boyfriend and I have been together almost 3 years and Im 33weeks pregnant with our first baby.
He's being really distant all of a sudden, its been a week since I've seen him.. He rarely responds to my texts and calls only when he needs something but he insists he still loves me and wants to be with me. We recently moved in a new place with his sister but I've been at my moms house since a little argument last week when he says he needs space.. But he was distant since before the argument. He didn't get me a Christmas gift and didn't talk to me during the holidays because he was so busy and didn't remember where his phone was...

Anyways I'm heartbroken and feeling lonely and after letting him know my feelings for so long with no change, I can't wait anymore. Have any of you ended a relationship during pregnancy? How did you cope? My heart is so sank, I work like 10 hours every day and I still can't get my mind off of the pain.. Help?! :(

You're so right everything is working out how it should and I have to let go and trust that God will handle the rest

Thank you so much ladies.
It feels better already to simply talk to someone who responds.. And tries to understand..

I hope we fix things after the pregnancy too but I'm not banking on it.. He too asked me to have an abortion in the beginning, and the sister he's living with made a remark asking him if she had to take me to the clinic herself.. Something I haven't been able to completely get over despite how nice she's seemed towards me since..

Inside I feel like he's distant because I'm having a baby he really does not want. I spend a lot of time wishing I never got pregnant. I love my babygirl but I'm so depressed over the situation. He doesn't understand I didn't want to be a mom yet either, I just couldn't kill my child.. I never imagined this would be my story. I wanted to be married and with someone who was equally in love with me as I am with them and everything is so opposite. Im sure none of this will matter when Im holding my princess.

I'm sorry I'm rambling I just have noone else to confide in..

Thank u ladies for listening

I was with my boyfriend 2 years and we broke up when I was 12 weeks so honestly consider it a blessing he was there majority of your pregnancy. I coped by knowing and hoping once the baby got here he would care again.. I just didn't stress it or let it bother me the best I could until I had my son. Then he came around and we worked it put long enough for me to get pregnant again and finally separate for good. So now I have a 5 month old and am 16 weeks pregnant but I get by and just have faith everything will work out. Just remember everything is working out how it should and even though it hurts you just have to let it go for now

I ended my relationship with my son's father when I was 4 months pregnant,  I am currently 9 months.  
I was fed up of feeling like he didn't care anymore.  He stopped touching me after we found out I was pregnant he wanted me to have an abortion.  He was more interested in his laptop and staying up all night playing video games. I moved back to my moms and we moved back to az and I left his *** in cali.
He cried and cried over me and still does. But honestly I have absolutely NO feelings towards him what's so ever . I could care less about him and what he does we have absolutely no contact with each other and I'm also very okay with that.

It'll be hard at first but you guys may work things out after you have your baby
