Firstly congratulations on the birth of your son!
When i was pregnant my situation was almost the same sounding, i rode as long as i could but then had problems and had to stop. The yard i was at tried to take over my horse at one point screaming y/o on my door step telling me no one was allowed to ride my horse after she saw a friend who was going to share.
Baby born, horse stood on a nail....long box rest etc EVERYONE butting in- I needed to walk my horse in hand but there were the "dont leave the baby" gang and the "let her cry its not long" gang I could do nothing right and hated going there.
My boss messed me round no end so i didnt get maternity pay and like you my partner was having to foot the bills.
It was a nightmare.
Eventually i found a paddock to rent by myself (there was a pony next door) It was a hundred times cheaper, no one told me what to do. I gave my horse time off (it dosent hurt!)
I did end up putting him on loan as he was difficult and i didnt feel as confident with a baby.
What im saying is dont give up. He's your horse and your baby and its seriously the best feeling going for a ride with your child.
Be strong and do what ever YOU feel is best. Good luck xxx
