The role of the father-to-be during pregnancy

Okay so I have a huge predicament and honestly don’t know what to do. So when I had gotten pregnant, immediately my mother told me to abort the baby. Made a bunch of appointments for me to get rid of my baby. Never went thru with it because I prayed for my baby. Before she fully gave into my pregnancy, she stated that she wants the baby to be named after her. My father agreed but I had told him I don’t feel comfortable naming my baby after someone that wanted me to get rid of her. Now my mother is excited about my pregnancy and still wants me to name my baby after her or at least have the same first letter because it’s her first grandbaby. I still feel uncomfortable with the decision and my boyfriend is completely against it. I already have a name in mind and didn’t tell no one because I wanna make sure it sticks. I feel like they’re putting pressure on me to give my daughter someone’s name who didn’t even want her on this earth in the first place. Very conflicted and confused

So this pregnancy me and the father aren’t together. And he seems to not really want to be involved until after the baby is born. He doesnt want to come to doc appointments. Would i be wrong to throw a general reveal and baby shower and not tell him about it? This is our 2nd child together. ?

Is it weird to have a bf who isn’t the father during pregnancy? Like my baby daddy wants to be in the babies life but I just find it awkward if I have a bf at the hospital as well as the baby daddy ..

Hi moms out there. I’m currently 12 weeks and 4 days pregnant but still having mixed emotions about having a baby. I’m in a great relationship with the father and I tried to be excited and happy about the pregnancy but nothing has changed and idk what todo. Is this normal? Will this feeling go away? He knows about this and it’s causing so much fighting which is making this so much harder to overcome. Am I wrong to think these things? And then one day be happy about the pregnancy then the next not really knowing what I want?

I'm currently 17 weeks pregnant with my first baby and the father is a guy I dated in HS and we been off and on ever since. Well when we hooked up I ended up pregnant we weren't in a relationship during that time. When I found out I was pregnant I told him immediately he didn't seem excited at all when I told him. But then he wanted me to come over to his place the day I told him I was pregnant and told me we are in this together and that he loved me, but when I had my first doctors appointment to have my pregnancy confirmed he told me he didn't want me to keep the baby that he wasn't ready to be a father. Then things got intense between us we started arguing alot more because he was upset that I was keeping the baby he told me things like he didn't love and he doesn't want to marry me. After a month or so he eventually came around and begin to except that I was keeping the baby and that he was going to be a father and he also apologized for his actions. We started get along everything was going great I honestly thought we were getting closer until just a couple days ago he hit me with I have a new girlfriend and this girl knows that I'm pregnant with his kid. I was really upset because now I feel like my family is going to be broken and I have lost him. But I finally realized that I need to be strong for my baby it hard especially this being my first pregnancy. You always thought when your younger that if you got pregnant you imagined that the father was going to be there but sometimes some fairy tales don't end that way.

How do you handle the father not wanting to be there during your pregnancy?

I’m 17 years old and I am 20 weeks into my pregnancy im starting to be really sad and scared I feel so alone because i am my child father is cool but we are not together and he isn’t there for me at all all he say is when the baby come it will be different idk what to even think or feel I’m just numb rn but I need to be happy what can I do to uplift myself !

My emotions during this pregnancy have been all over the place. I haven’t even had a chance to be excited. Me and the father or my child aren’t on good terms. Never would’ve thought… I might have to be a single mom.
