First of all like Zach says sit down with your girlfriend and agree to listen to each other without interupting. Find out what you both want, the "after " pill can affect your girlfrind adversely and she may want to keep the baby. If you both decide you dont want the baby, please decide as soon as poss. There are alternatives too such as adoption. I had my first child with my wife at 19, I was scared, really scared, but you know when he was born, I felt the most amazing feeling of protection and love, but I was still scared, I didnt have a clue about being a dad, still havent, nobody writes a script, you make your decisions and hope for the best. I had to marginalise my life a lot cos now my son was paramount, but there are beautiful memories that I wouldnt swop for anything else in the world. You know Picabloo if you talked to any would be first time dad at any age he would probably telll you he was scared, he didnt have a clue about being a dad and if we waited to tyhe time a baby was financially possible, half of us would never be born! Its not the end of the world, its a major moment in both your lives and I hope sincerely you both make the best decision for everyone!
