I'm in the same situation as you minus the pregnant part. Unfortanately, we are one of those teens in denial, but are willing to work things out. He brutally beat you...regardless if he gets counselling, unless it's an on-going thing for years! My boyfriend already gave up...He will do it again, and like my boyfriend, do it drunk also. My boyfriend first stayed over night then went to court, was released on bail and because at court they released him on bail he had restrictions, like him not being in 100 metres from me and his neighbour who saw, and other things... Until his court date/s were finished. you'd be going to the last one atleast to either find him quilty or not-guilty. Though my boyfriend and I were drunk and the cops were called on my 18th birthday...worst birthday of my life, and he has now been arrested for being with me, and has been in jail for a week! Having to pay a shit load of money to get out. That is only! What is up to the DA (Judge). If you want to see him...because you are pregnant, he has to get a good lawyer and get a Bail Variation that makes a court date. If he was already found quilty and the judge gave him no other options other than jail, my boyfriend was said to 6 months. But it could be so much longer. I hope this was his first charge. Good luck, don't be stupid.

 PLEASE tell me you are asking because you wonder how long you have that you are safe with him inside to escape from his reach and start a new life where he can NEVER ever touch you or your baby again.
PLEASE, for all that is good, do NOT tell me you want to know how soon he can be out so you can go back to him.
Get yourself support for beaten women. Call the police and ask them to refer you.
You need to get this piece of waste out of your life. Not just for your own safety, but for your baby.

 Are you afraid he'll get out and harm you? Please go speak to the District Attorney to let him or her know that you are fearful for yourself and that he has done this before. You might consider going to the police and giving them all the information as to how he has harmed you in the past.
You'll have to call the court for help as to how to report this and perhaps someone there can give you better information. Good luck.

 Obviously this 'man' doesn't care about u or his unborn child. Get out of this so called relationship, have your child and carrying on your life without him unless you want to be living in fear of when he will next hurt you. He's done it once he will most likely do it again. He's a pathetic excuse for a man and you deserve so much better. Please please please let him out of your life. He could be in jail for a good few months depending on the charges and if you actually testify against him although you probably wouldn't have to do that as it was witnessed by several other people.
