New User Needs Advice on Pregnancy and Raising a Child

[LotusPetals]

Hello, I'm a new user and I recently found out I'm about 4 weeks pregnant.
I haven't been to my GP yet as they're not open until Monday, and I know it's very early but I'm having a bit of a panic attack right now and I just need to reach out to someone, if possible. This is my first pregnancy and so will be my first baby and was unplanned (we were being safe.) I'm really not sure about anything right now.

My partner and I have both bawled our eyes out and we have already talked quite a bit about this, however I know there is still so much more that we need to address, and have talked extensively about if we should terminate or not in such a short period of time. In the end, we decided to keep the baby, since we both knew we were going to have kids in a few years anyway, and feel that if we decide to terminate we may end up regretting it- however, now I'm not so sure and I've been feeling like a yo-yo ever since finding out.
My partner and I are only 24, have only been together a year and are still living at home, an hour away from each other by car. We are quite young so don't have a lot in savings. We both do work, but I'm about to be made redundant and my partner has only just started his career as of mid January 2023.

Sorry, my thoughts are all over the place at the moment and I apologise if this post isn't coherent or offering any useful information in the slightest. I'm honestly freaking out about money and a place to live for the three of us.

So in short, I'm asking for any advice from anyone who has been in a similar situation.

Thank you.

@LotusPetals I haven't been in a similar situation so can't comment from that perspective - hopefully you'll get some more comments from others who have been. What I would say though is that an element of panic and uncertainty is quite normal when you find out about a pregnancy - even if the baby is very much longed for and you have been deliberately trying etc. It is a life-changing thing and so of course feels momentus and a bit overwhelming.

No-one can tell you and your partner how it will work out etc, but, if you do go ahead (and it's great you were able to discuss your reasons for doing so etc) then your lives will adapt around this little person. Sometimes you hear people say "there's never a right time to have a baby" and although there might be easier times to have one, I think the point of the saying is that, whenever they come along, if you are up for the ride, you make it work and you never know any different than the life you've got. I have absolute confidence that you can make this work if that's what you want. And there really is nothing like the love you have for your child. It will get you through a lot!

(Also... You have rights as a pregnant woman which might affect the redundancy situation? Worth looking into!)
