I'm pregnant with first almost 12 weeks. At first my DP and I had decided to go for a termination had the appointment and signed the papers, when we got back home I went to bed and broke down. DP and his mother decided to chat with me and promised support. It even seemed he was looking forward to the baby, Now a couple of weeks on everything has changed, in laws saying they won't be able to cope with baby in the house dp is also saying I should have just gone along with the termination, he seems to have pulled away from me as well. Has anyone elses partner been like that but changed when baby arrived? feel so low at the moment.

I think it is absolutely out of order for you and you DP to expect his parents to allow you to carry on living there with a baby. People can't live on fresh air. Presumably your partner has a job and is contributing to household expenses. Really irresponsible behaviour from both of you. And entitled much.

Why do you not work, OP? And why would you expect his parents to continue to carry you and your DP? Old enough to have a baby, old enough to look after yourselves.

Yes I have have lived with partner AND his family for five years. I have worked in that time it's just recently I haven't been, partner has a job and is managing to support us both financially. I don't expect them to look after us at all. It was them that was promising support and offering financial support if we needed help untill I could work again.
Yes they absolutely can see the child if they want to, but it seems they don't want to.
