No father on birth certificate

I registered my baby today and have chosen not to include his father on the birth certificate, for various reasons. I was wondering if anyone else has been in the same position? If so, how did you tell your baby’s Dad and / or how did he react?

Are you married? If not, he would have had to go with you. They won't put a father on the certificate in their absence if you aren't married

They will either not mind or threaten you with court (which seems to be the majorities go to 🤣)

They can apply for Parental responsibility through court if they really want to.

If they're not a safe person for you or baby to be around then you could always ask for him to prove paternity before applying for PR.

If there is safeguarding concerns regarding the father, it is really important to let them be known to someone (health visitors, midwives, etc.) incase he does react badly too

my father isn’t on my birth certificate. i’m 22 years old and haven’t had any contact with him so i’m pretty sure if you’re not married they can’t do anything

Postive or not yet?

I’ve recently been getting a dull achy feeling in my stomach past 2 days and today I’ve felt so sick, I also vape and I’ve been feeling sick with my vape and I never do, I done tests today my period isn’t due for about 5-6 days anyway but I done a clear blue digital it said not pregnant but I opened the test and it looks like this does this look postive or no

Can’t get pregnant after 4 previous pregnancy’s

So I’ve been trying to conceive for about a year now and with no luck every month I’m having sex on every day that I’m not having a period also testing ovulation I am ovulating just can’t get pregnant and don’t know why I’ve had two previous births with the healthy children to previous pregnancies before that were I had abortions in pregnancy. I have gotten pregnant within the first month of trying but now that I’m actually trying before was just like accidents I guess no I can’t seem to get pregnant even taking fertility vitamins no idea why or what Is going on 😩 my children were from previous relationships but now I am married and my husband wants a baby of his own. I just can’t seem to get pregnant and it’s breaking both of our hearts

Trying for a 2nd

Those who’ve had or are having their 2nd babies, how did you know when you were definitely ready? My husband and I have been talking about it a lot and both feel ready to a point. Our only hesitation is our son who’s recently turned 1. Giving him enough time, our current routine and life as 3 works well and we know what we are all doing. Love for him to have a sibling and to do all the baby stages again but it feels so daunting. We’ve not exactly been careful lately so if it happens it happens. It feels so much harder deciding 2nd time than it ever did the 1st

Negative?

I have awful line eyes from my time TTC. But currently 9 weeks postpartum so definitely not trying.
