Yes. Since there is harrassment from husband you can file a complaint under Protection of women from domestic violence act and claim maintenance for you and baby including seperate residence for you. etc

Hi with reference to you query, you can certainly pray the Hon'ble court for seeking maintenance of you as well as for nourishment and proper care of the unborn child. There is a provision in the law to provide the same.
