Wish this gal well and thank her for being honest. Then move far far away from her.

On a side note...And based on some posters comments ....So a girl could technically write that George Clooney or the shiek of Bahrain is the daddy and because of that..These fellas are on the hook for child support?
I'd go with this as best common sense. Get the facts.

But now there is uncertainty over the paternity of the unborn baby. Has anyone been in a similar situation before? How would you as a parent react? I am in my late 20s and independent. Should I say something now, or wait for the results after?

I'm still in the wishful thinking phase. I think that I can make all this go away and even if the baby isn't my biological child I can still move on with my GF, and that we can explore the world and grow old together and have more children of our own someday.

I don't know what I want to do, but at least I know that the birth is less than a month away.

I uprooted my entire life for the baby and what I thought is my future family. Moved across seven states, bought a house in a family-oriented suburb, already have everything all set up as far as the nursery is concerned. It is all so frightening...
I wouldn't say or do anything until you get the paternity test results.

I will. Things just got a hell of a lot worse. Lots of good questions for me from posters and things to thing about. Now me and even her family will be banned from the delivery room or being able to see the baby according to her, and it looks like I'll have to get a court ordered test to have the answers. She ran off.

Oh no! Sorry to hear that. I imagine the pressure you're both feeling is tremendous. Both of your world's were turned upside down in a very short period of time.

That sucks, but you're much better off knowing now instead of 5 years when you've bonded with a child who you thought was yours. Get that test before putting your name on anything! Don't give her a dime without that test either! You'll *********rself if you do.

What a drama queen!! She got herself into this situation with not knowing who that father of her unborn child and now she is saying to take her to court. Talk about playing victim.


Seriously, you would think finding out who the father is would be a top priority. I hope this woman grows up once she has this baby and acts like a responsible adult. She will soon find out, it is not all about her.

I am really sorry. I cant imagine turning your life upside down, the excitement over a baby all to have this happen. In some ways you dodged a bullet by knowing this is her character so, even if you are the bio dad, you can protect yourself and not marry her. And if you aren't...well then you get to run off! And quick.

Again, I am really sorry.

OP, I am so, so sorry that all this is hitting you at the same time. Part of me thinks that you may have dodged a bullet, but that's hard to see right now in the midst of "the baby is coming any second" -- everyone's nerves are on edge. Priorities are what is best for the baby, and what is best for you. Frankly, as far as I'm concerned, she's taken herself out off the equation. If the baby turns out not to be yours -- well, that's sad, but your soon-to-be-ex-girlfriend needs to grow up and figure it out. If the baby IS yours, then you have a whole different set of problems. I sorta hope, for your sake, that it's not. Good luck.
