Going thru my entire pregnancy w/o partner

He confirmed today that he will not be around for any parts of the pregnancy ultrasounds, finding out gender, baby shower, not even going to be there for the birth. We've been together on/off/on mostly on for 7 years. He has said a lot of nasty horrifying things to me when I simple was  trying to discuss co-parenting. I blocked his # and on every social media. He has a known history of violence and tried to make me get an abortion so I moved from SC to NOLA to be in a safe environment with love & support. Should I keep him blocked thru out my entire pregnancy? Or any other suggestions?
