how do I deal with this ?

I am 18 years old and I am 38 weeks and two days pregnant with my first son my due date is April 15th ! My pregnancy wasn't the best my boyfriend was arrested and incarcerated when I was 5 months and is still there and we do not know how long he will be serving ! Me and his family do not talk because they say I am ungrateful and I have no respect because I dont call like I used too. In my opinion I feel like I did nothing wrong ! The phone rings both ways an she doesn't call me, i am the one pregnant nott boyfriends mother why do I need to call her ? What should I do ? Am I wrong for not calling ?

(sorry I posted too early). they need to make the effort. I think you should call when you go to the hospital to deliver. Then they can decide if they are going to go. Dont stress yourself out. If they want the relationship they need to seek. Im sorry but your in the middle of creating a life, so they need to get over themselves.

With my first child my son's father went to prison 2 weeks before I went into labor. I didn't talk to his parents much and they didn't call me either. I called her after I had the baby. I think she told bd that my son didnt have my last name and he was pissed but I didnt care. I haven't talked to her or him in over a year. So no you're not wrong for calling the phone works both ways. If she wants to be a part of her grandchild's life then I think it's important for her to call you.

Just think about you and your baby no stress! Be the mature one because they have hands and fingers and I'm assuming a phone they can call you anytime. Try not to stress yourself cause you need to be strong for your baby :) congratsssss <3
