More details to this question:
I'm 5 months pregnant and I don't feel that the place I'm in is safe for a baby nor is it big enough for a growing family. I informed my landlord I was pregnant once I found out.

Your decision to become pregnant, does not justify an early termination of the lease agreement. Under certain circumstances, the tenant can terminate the lease early, if the landlord fails to take reasonable, cost-effective action, to address dangerous persons on the property.

No, you cannot unless pregnancy is an excuse for early termination in your lease, which I am betting it is not.

Your pregnancy does not affect the lease.

You can terminate the lease, but unless the landlord agrees to let you out of the lease, you will be required to pay for the remaining lease amount. Assuming the landlord is unable to re-lease the property before your term ends.
