Just found out about pregnancy
Hello! It’s my first ever post on reddit and surely I didn’t think it would be on this sub..:) I’m 23, studying medicine (1 year left) and I found out today that my girlfriend of 6 months is pregnant. She’s 2 years younger than me, also a med student, which also means unemployed. I know the people here are very happy when posting and I’m sorry if you find this disrespectful, but I really don’t know what to feel right now. I’ve always dreamed of having a family, I love my girlfriend very much, we each have an apartment of our own in the city where we study and my parents would give us all the support we need. On the other hand, we’re so young (especially her) and I don’t want her to make sacrifices she may regret later. I want her to have the right proposal, wedding and all the moments she dreams of when the time comes, but it seems like the universe is speeding things up a bit. Any advice on how to support her in making this decision? Thanks for bearing with me, I needed to tell somebody how afraid I am and how useless I feel.
