I am 24 years old and found out my girlfriend of 4 years is 13 weeks pregnant and as none of my mates have children I was wondering what to expect
Congratulations Lloyd 🙂
Have you checked out our advice and support area, there's a whole section on expecting.

Your girlfriend has probably had a lot of mood swings, these are because of raging hormones and should settle down. She may be more tired than usual and a little tearful at times, just give her plenty of reassurance and consideration....it's hard work being pregnant!
.... my girlfriend ...is 13 weeks pregnant and .... I was wondering what to expect
Well, in 26 weeks, you can expect a little pink bundle 😀
Sorry, couldn't resist that, but congratulations 🙂
The biggest, most unimaginable change to your life. Your outlook and priorities to be turned on their heads. Financial meltdown; confusion and fatigue. A house full of [censored]. A pretty much constant feeling of being out of your depth.
But all of the above is so massively worthwhile and paid - back a million times in cuddles, giggles and that long awaited "loveyoudaddy".
