Struggling with what to do

So I've been working at my current job for about two years (I'm a photographer at a newspaper) and while I loved it at first I'm beginning to grow overly frustrated and tired of it. I've been considering going to grad school and making a career switch sometime soon, but since i found out I was pregnant (unplanned, 10 weeks 2 days) I find myself just wanting to quit.

The problem with this is financial, as my partner doesn't make enough to support us both. My parents have offered to help us out but also want us to move closer to them (which I'm in favor of, but he is not).

I'm struggling to decide if I should suck it up and stay at a job I'm miserable at, on the other side of the country from my family, with the hope of being able to keep the father in the picture or if I should look out for myself first and tell him that I want to quit and relocate so that I can get back into school, taking the risk that he may not want to follow me on that path.

I realize this is super complicated but does anyone have any advice? =\
