Father of unborn child has a new partner and child on the way!!

I am currently 9 weeks pregnant and the father to my child wants absolutely nothing to do with him\her, yet he has a new partner and has a baby on the way with her. I feel really alone in all this despite the support from my family and friends. His partner does not know about me or my baby, yet I feel that she should know? I don't want to be the one to tell her as its not my place and i dont want to ruin what she has with him but he obviously has no intention of telling her. Fair enough I'm not bothered about him ignoring me, but the fact that he's not bothered about his child devastates me. Can anyone suggest anything?

I would tell her she deserves tp know what kind of monster she is with. I would want to know if I was her. Men can be such terds.  I hope all turns out ok. Just remember you got the best part of him growing inside of you right now

May be just me but I'd tell her. This isn't just a side relationship, this is a baby. Completely different. It's better than waiting til oh surprise, child support demand, my man has a baby?!

I had to go threw the same thing with my very first baby the father of the baby said he wanted to have something to do with the baby and me. It turned out he cheated on me over and over with my "best friend" it broke my heart and I lost the baby because of the stress I went threw trying to make it work.  now their married and have a baby boy. Now I'm happily married and have a wonderful husband and beautiful daughter and got another on the way.. my advice is dont stress over it things will work out losing a baby is hard, I agree u should go to court but try not to stress good luck!

She will find out once you take him to court to obtain child support which you can do for free. If you are on Medicaid they will start the process once baby is born. Sounds like a total jerk. I have been through a similar situation. You are better off. So sorry you are having to go through this. It will get better.
