Basically I may post this is the wrong place but it has a few aspects to it and i really need some advice (sorry its long)

So I woke up this morning after a terrible nights sleep to my next door neighbours having a domestic AGAIN, I'm pretty sure he hits her and after something thudding against my wall that made my wardrobe shake, I decided to phone the police. Many people might say its nothing to do with me but after hearing her saying 'please don't hurt me', I'm not one to just ignore it. So I rang the police, they turned up after the guy had left and she was now crying in her flat.
We live in a big house converted into flats so walls are thin (we all rent) . I heard the whole police convo, she slammed the door on the and was like 'i was arguing on the phone' .. rubbish. They left and rang me to say that she said nothing happened, but there going to add her on the protective list just incase she or anyone else rings the m about her... because she PREGNANT... when they told me this i literally was shocked because there always smoking weed in there flat. As I am also pregnant I'm finding it so hard to deal with the smell and im worried about my unborn child. But when her other half came home he shouted very rude abuse through the flat at the top of his voice basically saying he was going to get the person who rang the police. So from also smelling weed every night, being woken up by loud noises from them every other day, I was today scared to leave my own home to go to University. I really don't know what to do. I'm worried the stress will have an effect on me and i have terrible sickness and finding it hard already at 12 weeks, and also my unborn because of the stress and weed.

any advice is fantastic, please I dont know what to do :(

You need to break down the issue a bit to make it easier to deal with.

Your neighbour may be being abused and she is pregnant. - Don't ignore that. If you hear anything phone the police, as many times as it takes. Do you know her? Can you befriend her so she isn't isolated?

You feel intimidated in your home. This isn't on. He sounds like a bully. If he does anything to you directly that makes you feel threatened then phone the police - he won't get away with it.

The weed issue. With regards to the effect it will have on her unborn baby, there is nothing you can do about it. You don't know that she is smoking it, it may just be him. But if he has drugs in his flat he is a lot less likely to give you any hassle for fear you call the police so that's something to bear in mind.

Your unborn baby and the effect stress/weed will have on them. Babies are very resilient. If you feel stressed, put something funny on tv, have a bath, anything that makes you feel calm. In your flat there won't be enough of the smoke from the other flat to cause your baby any harm whatsoever. There is very little tobacco in a joint anyway.

Does your neighbour rent/own their property? Can you contact the landlord?

Thank you for replying

And no I dont know her, she seams quite 'chavy' I dont know how to describe her

And im sure she is smoking it as they shout about it

And im now thinking maybe thats why he got so angry about the police turning up

And we all rent in this place.
Im just worried that as the newest people in the flat complaining to everyone will make them more angry but i suppose if i dont nothing will change

link report them, and keep phoning the police, keep records of the disturbance. You should not feel threatened in your own home. The guy is obviously a bully.

If you can hear them lots, why don't you keep something on record to catch them as evidence? Also, speak to your landlord (as I assume you share landlords?).
