I'm so glad I read this post. I'm so sorry about your situation and hope you come to the right decision for you. Before I read this I had the same scared thoughts as you. The main reason I never went to the docs for help was I was so scared of being labelled and then not being able to either adopt (which tbh still worries me as the criteria is hard enough) and if I am ever lucky enough to have my own child, having it taken from too. Its so lovely to read that so many people are leading normal family lives :)
Altho I dont have experience of pregnancy, I do have experience with threatening partners. I had to get the police involved when i left my husband (whole other story!), the police were brilliant with advice etc if you feel threatened maybe ask for some advice. I was terrified to contact the police but it was the best thing i did and also made me feel a lot safer.
take care x.
