Today, I went to get an ultrasound done. I texted my ex, who's the father, and told him how adorable its little feet are, and asked him why he didn't come. I got a reply with two words: "DNA test". FML

Well if that's what it takes to prove to him it's his, I'd say do it. It's hard being a single mom.

Well unless you gave him a reason to think otherwise, guy sounds pretty immature. If you can have sex you should know the consequences of it also

Although its rude of him, you can't force him to be excited about the pregnancy. You're choosing to have this baby with or without him; he has a right to make an informed decision about whether he's going to be involved. If it is his I hope he steps up and plays a role in your baby's life.

He's your ex, not your current bf. You are pregnant, but that doesn't mean he wants to be there to hold your hand, especially if he has a current gf. You can expect him to pay child support if it's his, but no guarantee he'll be a super dad

Do the test. For those saying the ex should be able to walk away? He had a "say in it" when they had sex. Pre-sex contracts to absolve men in case of accidental pregnancy? How dumb. Do away w/ child support? A man posted this, I'm positive of it. It takes 2 people. Congrats OP.

Send him two words back. "Garnished Wages."

Well, by all means go for the DNA test. Gotta make sure.

I was referring to the prenatal test. I agreed in the last post it should be done if the dad is denying the claim. Given that she lives in Canada where care is free, she has no bill for the OBGYN. $400 is very different number than 1k. Or she could go on Maury and then there's no bill lol

It's completely understandable for a father who isn't with the mother to want a paternity test. It's either get a test and be sure or end up paying for someone else's kid for 18 years. If you know he's the father without a doubt, then you should have no problem providing the proof.

well, depends why did you break up. I would ask for a dna test alsox and the break up was bad.
