A drunk thug punched his on-and-off pregnant girlfriend in stomach during a fight that she says has 'changed' her.
John Lacey, 42, rekindled their romance when he came to stay with her in Newport in order to attend the scans of their unborn baby.
She was 14 weeks pregnant with the defendant travelling down from his home in Derby.
A sentencing hearing at Cardiff Crown Court heard there was an argument between the couple which resulted in the victim ending the relationship on March 22.
That day Lacey stayed in the garage overnight and on March 23 the attack happened.
