You didn't explain what this young mother-to-be was doing to harm her baby. Smoking, drugs, alcohol, trying to get rid of the baby. There isn't much you can do as she's the mother and has a right to her own body. When the baby is born and if she mistreats her newborn then you can call Children's Aid. == More Contributor Input== Unfortunately, in the US a woman cannot be legally forced to follow a healthy live style when she is pregnant. In the majority of US states when a baby is born addicted to drugs or AFS, the attending physicians/hospital are required to notify authorities.
He has no rights until the child is born even if he can prove it is his.
Some of the chemicals of the smoke will passs over into the unborn child, causing it to be born with a lower weight than if the mother hadn't been smoking. There are suspicions of other effects too, but low birth weight is the one that's easiest to prove.
No. As the grandparent you have no rights to the child. But since she is not married to the father he will have to prove paternity with a DNA test if he wants parental rights such as custody, visitation and pay child support.
No one apart from the mother can obtain "custody" of a fetus. Custody battles must wait until the child has been born. You can file for paternity testing, although it would probably be best to wait until the child is born before doing that. If the tests prove the child is yours, you can then file for custody. Due to physical restrictions, I would assume that a father can't get custody of an unborn child.
blood or dna test. Blood Test.
Not with the child unless he has sole legal and physical custody and the mother has no parental rights (and he can prove it with a court order).

He has to prove paternity in court to get his parental rights. He can then petition for custody, visitation and pay child support and also petition to sign the birth certificate. He could have done this 6 years ago when the child was born. The mother cannot deny him his parental rights. Now he will have to pay child support and he can even owe for 6 years back.
18-23 years, depending on the state.
Catch it on tape, ask the child yourself.
I assume that you mean "from the biologicalfather". The father have every right to have you see his child when the child stays with him. The mother can do nothing about that unless she can prove you are unfit or dangerous to the child and then she will need a court order to keep you away.
Only if you can prove in the courts that her addiction is harmful and is causing severe neglect to her children.
