feeling sad

Father decided not to having anything to do with the baby should I notify his family?

So sorry you are going through this. If you will be seeking child support and therefore getting a DNA test maybe it would be better to wait so you have proof the baby is their grandchild. If they don't know you and their son denies this is his child they would most likely believe their son. It would be really hard to know what to do since you don't know them to determine if they would be supportive and nurturing grandparents or just cause you more stress.

If so should I wait before or after the baby is born I'm due in 3 weeks. Plz help

I'm so sorry. Are you close with his family? If you are and think that they would want to be a part of the baby's life then it may be a good idea to open those lines of communication. It could lead to complications, but it could also be good for both you and the baby. I wish you the best.

No his family doesn't know me. And thank you.

I would. Prepare yourself for them to not believe you, etc, but I would just because you never know. You may find someone really supportive and you need all of the support you can get right now.

He may come around, too. Pregnancy is really stressful.

Does he have other children?

Sounds like a tough situation, I'm sorry to hear you are going through with it. If the father only made this decision recently is there a chance that he could have told them himself? If so I would leave contacting them until after. It's going to be an emotional few weeks ahead and stress is not going to help.
The one caveat I would have is if you are going to require contact for child support etc. so in this case I'd look for legal advice before birth, just in case.
