My BD and I had a bad breakup. Things were going okay with each other out of respect for my pregnancy. Now they are back to being terrible. I feel trapped and confused and scared. I don't want to have problems with him but he will always hate me. Even when I try to be nice and do the things he wants it still leads to this. I'm wondering if I should just take him off the birth certificate? He already said he won't sign an AOP until he's born. Any advice please

If he’s not on the birth certificate, you won’t be able to file child support automatically without a test proving he’s the dad. If you’re not planning on filing child support, you do not have to put him on anything you don’t want to. With my 1st, i didn’t add the dad. With my 2nd i did. It’s a nightmare with the 2nd trying to get passports and all that, and we were still cordial. It’s wonderful with the 1st, not needing anybody or anything. All on you, mama.

Parent of recognize is only done at birth, not before! If he is being disrespectful of you and your pregnancy he needs to go hun I’m sorry but pregnancy is a gift of life not a toy to mess around with, he don’t have respect for you and to keep you less stressed then he needs to grow up himself

If you are not married i wouldnt put in on the birth certificate or give him his last name

My kids have my last name and their “dads” are not in the birth certificate and they get child support after the DNA that just took 2w for us, you didn’t make take baby along but also he is not been good to you while carrying his baby, set boundaries for happy pregnancy and for you. 🙌🏻🙌🏻
