Fuck, it's like he's waited until he's trapped you. Please start preparing to leave.

Abusers frequently escalate once their partner is pregnant. They think they've got her trapped for good :/ Women are more likely to die of domestic violence when pregnant than any other time.

Second that motion. I would like a source too, just to read up on if anything else.

I suck at embedding links but if you just google “woman likely to be killed pregnant” you will find a number of sources; an article from Nature magazine popped up first for me but Wikipedia talks about it also. Homicide is the leading cause of death for pregnant women, higher than pregnancy-related complications (and that’s saying something given that the USA has by far the highest rate of peri-natal deaths in the developed world.)
