The bond of fatherhood
18 years old, 1st child.!
I am 18 years old, me and my girlfriend that Ive known for around 2 years, just found out that she would be having are first child. She is now 9 weeks into pregnancy, and things are just now starting to heat up in are relationship. I'm slowly learning that "The pregnant girl is always right" no matter what the argument was about. I will admit its been real hard taking care of her so far, and I know I have awhile to go. She is a very sweet girl, and she really means well, and I know with her being a teen mom that it makes things even harder, so I figured id ask for any advice on making things a little better for us guys to cope with the every day changes.

COngrats on the upcoming kid. I would consider myself a young dad as well, im 22 and will be expecting in about three weeks. as far as advice goes, do whatever you can to make her feel comfortable, rub her back and feet, it's a great way to put em to sleep. Be sensitive to her request as far as comfortablility and support because everything thing she feels the baby will feel so think about it that way. She's gonna have some crazy cravings so be ready for them. I also started a journal for myself to just vent and also to see where my mind is at the time and i can revisit it to help my with certain issues. Do your best to be involved with apts and any classes you two might take because you did this to her...lol...so teamwork is really important and she'll love you for it. hope all this helps, ill keep in touch...DeMario

Thx for the response. I also have kept a journal since finding out, it does help with getting feelings out, with out actually telling her how I feel like I used to be able to, now it seems that if I do try to tell her my feelings it comes back at me. So for now a journal and this will have to do.. I've already done some 2 a clock runs for pickles and ice cream, its been a little crazy here lately cause we have been having her friend practically live with us, with her also being pregnant at 19, its a handful at times. You know us guys, specially around are age, always in need of sex, well its starting to look like for me, that its gonna be a long while before I get my satisfaction again.. :)
I don't blame her though, It a hard time for her, the least I can do is hold my temptations back. I just need to keep my self calm at times, because I sometimes get a little cranky when i go weeks with out any. Keep in touch with how things are going on your end, I gotta get off here before I get in trouble for being on the computer to long. :)

There are things I learn slowly through this pregnancy that I have a feeling every guy is going to learn, and that is..
1. Nothing you do is enough, just keep you head up and do what you need to do to help your wife, and all her needs.
2. Don't let her know your stressed about things, it only makes things worse, and causes a argument, then causing you to get even more stressed.
and another important thing Ive learned is...
3. Doing things out of the ordinary for them helps make the day go a lot better, even if they don't show that they appreciate it, they love all the attention. Just keep calm about things, yeah were there slaves now, but hey the out come is great.
