If we want to play theory track game. Yes, it does seem to be that way. Writers thinking they are all so smart doing this track this way.
Abhi said he is going to take this as a chance to rectify his mistakes. So based upon the narrative put forth by the writers that would be:
1) Supporting Akshara openly in front of his mother
2) Treat Akshara like family regardless. Meaning any happenings/khands internally or unintentional that happens he will support her like family would and not cast her out again. At the end of the day its not the baby's fault he/she's father died. So Abhi will be there to help Akshara with the child
3) While supporting Akshara in this pregnancy he will be less like the Army General ordering her to do this and that and give her room to breath. He will get to participate in the full pregnancy that he missed with Abhir.
4) Through all the acts that Abhi will do he will show to everyone how big of a heart he has. (Of course we the audience already know this.) But its for the characters on the show who have some how forgotten. WD acted like a clean wipe to certain people's memories. So maybe just maybe we will get Akshara acknowledging what Abhi is doing. Goenkas we know they flip all the time and dance around whomever is currently the son-in-law 
And with this new baby setting of Gen 4 is there.
1) Manjari or one of the Birlas may harbor some slight partiality towards Abhir who is Abhi's real blood. Honestly if Harshvardhan was still on the show I could see him doing that.
2) Akshara may actually be partial to the baby only because the father is not present despite Abhi being there for the child. Manjari may pick up on that and start fighting with Akshara on that. She may accuse Akshara of neglecting Abhir and spending more time on the baby. (For obvious reasons a baby does need more care so there will be a point Abhir being the big brother has to take after himself a little more)
3) Muskaan could still be angry that Abhi is raising her brother's child. So any little hurt or accident or whatever that befalls the baby she will blame on Abhi.
My theories are never right so maybe its a good thing to just say it out now so it can just disappear into the void. Writers will probably show us much worse cause that is all we have been seeing for the past 8 months
