The stakes are very high (a happy family life for yourselves and your child) so you have to do the best you can to see if you can learn to deal with conflict better. If you can't work out your differences, it's best to find out as soon as you can so you don't drain yourself in the endless fighting.
Working while being pregnant is very tiring, hormones or no hormones. Hopefully your partner can understand this too and cut you a break. Unfortunately maturity does not come automatically with age, though.

Having two parents who fight and dont get on is not a good environment for a child so dont stay together for the baby's sake. Tell him the truth and see if you can get the relationship back on track before you give up on him altogether x

If you're going to stay with this guy to benefit your unborn child, then you need to be having a healthy relationship. A healthy relationship is based on telling the truth about your feelings to the other person.
