    I'm not 100% sure what you're asking. Are you asking if you should tell your child's father when you check into the hospital? That really depends on your personal preference, relationship to the father, and how the father's expected behavior plays into your being comfortable during delivery. I don't have enough information to give you any advice. 

    As for how to "get your family back," again, not enough info there. However, I'm of the opinion that it takes two people, not three, to be a family. My son and I are a family. We don't need his dad to complete it. Sure, it would be great if his dad was involved, but his dad's absence doesn't undermine the fact that we are already a family. 

    Sorry you're having a rough time. It really sucks to go through any part of pregnancy alone.

    Do whatever you feel comfortable with. Just because the baby is born does not mean magical things will happen. If you want the father to sign the birth certificate he needs to come to the hospital.
