My ex is making things difficult for me and insists on being at my labour

Hi, I'm 21 weeks pregnant with my first! Basically my ex is a complete joke, he's messed me around and stressed me out my entire pregnancy and hasn't taken into consideration I'm pregnant what so ever, in-fact he acts like he doesn't give a monkeys. His mum has also been a nightmare already, harassing me constantly with abuse! I am so stressed and run down because of it all I just want it to stop! I've told my ex I'm not comfortable with him being at my labour because of how he's treated me in my pregnancy. Now he's apparently taking me to court, I've never ever told him or his family he can't see his daughter, I want him to be involved in her life if he wants to be.

Do I have to allow him in the room when I'm giving birth or in labour?

Don't tell him when your in labour only tell him once you have had your DB and your happy for him to come and visit, he won't know when your in labour,

Block him and his mother.

He doesn't get any say over your birth or pregnancy.
Once baby is born, go register s/he with your surname, and no father.

I'd not let the baby go with him without a court order as he is the type to not return the baby to you.
If you aren't living near your friends/family, then move back before the baby is born.

It's your labour and about you and keeping you calm, he has no right to be in that labour what so ever that's your medical needs, so let him throw his money down the drain, the midwife will keep him away if that's what you want x
