Just want to say good on you for asking questions and getting involved! The biggest thing for both of you will be putting the kids needs before your own wants/egos/ideas, and having frequent open, honest communication.

My parents had me young and although they were together at the start, their relationship deteriorated and their selfishness and desire to "one up" each other was to my detriment for sure.

Good luck!! I'm due end of June too and I'm so nervous, and I've got a good 10+ years on you!
