Sorry you are having to go through this, especially with the added stress of a high-risk pregnancy. Well, if he doesn't want to be a daddy, you cannot force him. But, he will be required by state to pay for the child once paternity is established. Att 25 he might not be easy to tie down to payments, but eventually it will catch up with him. In the meantime, check wi th you employer about what your options are and what will be covered. You might be surprised what they actually have to offer you.

Another thought is, if you have any sort of relationship with this guy's family, perhaps the grandparents/aunts/uncles will be more responsible than the birthfather. Seek them out and see if they can be of any support--either physically, mentally, possibly help with childcare, etc. Oftentimes just because there might be one "bad seed" in the family, other members might step up to the plate to help anyway.

Good luck and take care of yourself and the little one on the way.
