Pregnant and employer doesn't care?

Just wanted some advice about this issue at my workplace. I work at a care home as a Night Care Assistant. We have three floors, Strawberries, Apples and Cherries. Strawberries is the dementia floor and has a few aggressive elderly residents on the floor and they start a fight.

Currently I am more than 6 months pregnant and I have told them I don't want to be put on that floor as its unsafe for me. The manager told me that it's not a good enough reason for me to not be put on that floor and I should deal with the elderly person while they are being aggressive

There was an elderly person who chased me twice because I had the work device in my hand while I was doing my work. She also came up to me and started grabbing the phone aggressively and I let go to let her have it as I didn't want to get hurt.

I am told by an employee that some of them do punch people or are physically abusive in some form and I am scared if I get punched in the stomach I'll have a miscarriage...

I told them this yesterday at the meeting and they didn't seem to care and say I got to deal with the dementia person to resolve the issue of why they are angry with me. Is this the right approach? I don't know what else to do because they keep putting me on that floor and I am scared for my baby and me in case I end up in hospital...

I don't know what to do other than try and find a new job for my own safety.. any advice would be appreciated..
