Anyone else have a dead beat baby daddy?

I'm 29 weeks preggo & the father of my daughter is nothing but a waste .. He really does not give a **** about his daughter and even going as low as denying he's the father .. I tried talking to him but he blocked my number then I messaged him on Facebook didn't answer then blocked me..  All he cares about is going out and getting drunk .. He's father was a dead beat and he always said he never wanted to b like him but I guess the apple doesn't fall from the tree .. I feel bad for my daughter that she may never know her father which is the only reason I tried to reach out to him.. Is anyone going through something like this or went through a similar situation.. I hope once she's born that he might have a change of heart bc my daughter does deserve a father and when we dated he was an amazing boyfriend but his grandfather died the day I found out I was preggo and he just lost it and his mother is the one putting the thought in his head that its not his when we never had a issue of cheating.. We had an amazing relationship and wanted a family.. It just breaks my heart and makes me so sad I hope things get better : / anyone have any advice of what I should do?

Im sorry to hear that things are not working out. If this is some sort of weak consolation my bf left me7 years ago 5 months pregnant to the next month my afp test failed and my son was born with gastroschisis i told him he was very sick and it didnt do anything for him to care. When he born it was worst, i had to visit my dying baby ( he had blood trtransfusion and 3 surgeries)  by myself while all the other babies in the nicu where being visited by both of their parents. I had to see the other women there had a sholder to cry on. I really hope he comes around be strong.

Thanks Hun for the advice.. It's really hard not trying to talk to him we broke up on our 1 year anniversary in jan and I haven't talked to him since feb so I just wrote him a message on sat thinking maybe these months he had a change of heart.. N the closer to my due date makes me sad thinking he won't b there when our daughter is born and there is just so many things I wanna ask him bc our breakup was so unexpected I never got that closure..it just makes me sad seeing all my friends pregnant with their husbands and boyfriends there for them and my baby daddy who just doesn't care.. I was pregnant last April n he was so excited and there for me but I ended up miscarriage.. I just hope everything works out in the end :(

Im sorry it seems like you still have feelings for him. If you do want him back and want his attention DONT give him your attention by calling him and fbking him  it assures him he has you there and it makes you seem insecure, dont take this the wrong way my bf and I broke up and did the same but once I ignored him he started looking
for me.  He may have cold feet about the baby and if youre not giving him space it will just push him away. Hope this help. You can msg me if you wanna talk  : )
