Ok Ladies, here is my situation.... I am 22yrs old and 36wks preg with a girl. Me and the father split when I found out I was pregnant. I left him because I did not want the stress of a boyfriend and being pregnant at the same time. The father wants to be in the baby's life, I talked to him up until I was 5 mo, then I didn't hear from him for a couple of months. I called him the other day, to see what was up. He said his phone broke and could not get into it to get my number out of it. I thought it was a lie but found out that it wasn't. We are on friendly talking terms. He wants the baby to have his last name, he seems to be really interested in taking care of her. I told him that she was getting my name. But I am considering giving her his last name. The whole last name thing does not seem to make much of a difference to me. He seems more concerned with it than I do. I don't know what the importance of last name is, I know with a boy it carries on in the family. But I don't know what the legal matters are of the last name. I am thinking about surprising the father with giving her his last name. Please all advice would greatly help. My next problem is that I need to learn to relax.... The father has a girlfriend, I am worried that she will cause problems. The father said that no one will come between him and his child, and that he would put her in her place if she tries anything. His mother said that she would set the girlfriend straight too. The reason I worry is because she is 25 and told the father that she is pregnant by him, but.. she did not show him the test and I heard that she was lying. If she can lie about being pregnant, I can only imagine what problems she would try to cause. I don't know how someone could lie about being pregnant, that is a serious thing to a male or anyone for that matter. I think that the girlfriend will have jealousy problems, because the father plans of spending alot of time with daughter. I am sorry, I just need to vent and advice on how to keep calm. I am a worry wart person, especially now that I have someone else to care for. I know I probably sound crazy or confused, but I am very confused and these pregnancy hormones are not helping any, lol :)

Okay, well first as far as giving your daughter her father's last name....if you are okay with that, then that is your choice and there is nothing wrong with it. I am also pregnant and not with the father and plan on giving my son his last name also. My mom tried to talk me out of it because she thought that if custody ever became an issue that my child having his father's last name may give him more ability to take him from me. Not the case, so if anyone tells you that, then don't do it. You said that it doesn't make a difference to you, so then I don't see why your daughter shouldn't have her father's last name. I wouldn't be telling you that if you felt like you were being pressured to do that and didn't want to. As far as your daughter's father's girlfriend goes....well, we all know how some women can be. And yes, there are jealous women out there who will do things just out of spite. However....your daughter's father seems as though he is a strong man who will not allow her to do anything like that. If he was telling you things like "Well, she's my girlfriend now, and she's going to be a part of our daughter's life, so you'll just have to deal with it", now that would be a different story. He is trying to rea__sure you that he will put his daughter first, and for now you have to try to trust in that and believe that until you have a reason not to. I know how hard it is to think of another woman being involved with your child, I am in a similiar situation myself. Trust that he won't allow her to interfere in a negative way until he (and she) proves you different. I hope that they don't!!! Best of luck to you for a happy and healthy delivery adn a beautiful baby girl. :)
