The fact that you're disabled can't be the trouble. Amy's mom attended her sister's wedding and still disapproved. I'd be very careful about badmouthing Amy's mom, especially while she's pregnant. Raging hormones could be dangerous. Her mom must be a very unhappy person. She could do some

Picking up and moving and starting "anew" is an option. But, hearing what I have of Amy, she'll resent that and leave you in the dusty in a matter of months or years. Your S.O. should be NUMBER ONE one the list of love respect. I don't think Amy is putting you there. For your sake, Erik,

I can see where you would be confused.  Her family doesn't know.  At Christmas, they wanted her to stop over but only if she came alone.  Once the baby is born, I can see them asking her to bring the baby over but only if she comes alone.  Yes having a baby in this situation does seem stupid

You obviously haven't had any experience with Pentecostal Christians.  They are a cult.  Women can not wear pants.  They must wear skirts or dresses.  Amy and her sister wore skirts winter or summer every day they lived at home.  Women can't have short hair.  It must be long usually pulled
