I have been with my boyfriend for 3 years, and currently 7 months pregnant. I'm 21 and was living in student accommodation till march when my parents asked me to move back home considering having a baby and don't want me to live by myself. However since moving back with them there's been arguments and controlling in aspects of my finances and my whereabouts, it's just been stressful.
Before moving back home my boyfriend been asking me to move in with him, however my parents are against that because we are not married, I'm not even allowed to spend the night at his.
Should I just move in with him or stay with my parents till I rent my own flat?

Couldn't you get married? Much more protection for you and your child.

If you love you and don't have any concerns about your relationship then it would seem good to move in with him s he's the baby's dad and can help when the baby come. I really don't see why your parents wouldn't want you spending the night there as your already pregnant! Do they like him? Does he work etc?

we are thinking of getting married in the near future.

there aren't any concerns about our relationship, yes he does work. my parents like him to an extent. they don't want me spending the night there as it does not seem respectable for their household.

They sound very old fashioned. They do realize how pregnancy happens right? Seems bizarre to me that they are still against you spending the night with him all things considered. But all that aside, you're an adult, you can live with who you want to live with!

If you are planning on getting married you may as well do a registry office with 2 witnesses, don't tell your parents, show them the marriage certificate when you tell them you are moving out. That way you have more money to spend on baby/ a house rather than a stressful, fancy party.
