If leaving isn't an option, at this point, there's ways to learn to protect yourself, emotionally. I'm in the middle of a book, not certain how it would be taken, by your cop husband, yet written by one, used by many. 'Verbal Judo:The Gentle Art of Persuasion'. It includes numerous communication techniques, that I'd learned on my own path to leaving an abusive, more often verbal than physical, marriage. Not saying leaving is the only choice, as I'm aware that there's some out there in this world whose spouses made a turnaround on the brink of a failed marriage while the other spouse became healthier. Many chose therapy, some read, utilized support groups. If you choose wellness, perhaps he'll follow? I mentioned this one, not because I'm reading it, but because seems safer than some of the literature I brought into my home, guised as old college textbooks.
Learning to detach from his outbursts helps dramatically, as no-one can make you feel anything without your permission, as stated by Eleanor Roosevelt.
A high risk pregnancy is probably not the best time to seek employment, I agree. If he doesn't want laundry nor dinner...why worry?
