Itā€™s obviously your life but you did ask for advice so Iā€™d say go on birth control for now, wait a year and some, then see where both of you are then. You havenā€™t known each other for that long at all, enjoy your time together.

2 months is too short of a time to get to know each other. 6 months is when small slips of showing their true self. It takes at least 1 in a half years to figure out if you are are willing to live with the small amount of their true self that you know about. You havenā€™t seen if he has red flags yet.

Donā€™t do it. Set yourself up first. If he can deal with normal life/work stresses with you, then think about it.

What do you know about this man in 2 months that makes you want to deal with him a lifetime? Where tf are your parents? They didnā€™t teach you anything

Let that oxytocin/honeymoon phase from a new relationship wear off before making these types of decisions :person_facepalming:

Youā€™ve known him for 2 months. That is not enough time to have known someone to have a baby with. Stay in school, get on birth control, & become a doctor. So much better to have a secure future.

You both sound like you have a lot of growing up to do. For goodness sakes, finish school and get yourself sorted financially. If heā€™s still sticking it out when youā€™re done, then get married and have a family.

I think having a baby with someone you have known for 2 months and while you are a premed student is a bad idea. Finish school first. Give this relationship time. Two months in and yā€™all argue already?

Girl. I was with a guy like this. We were together 3 years. I got pregnant 2 months in.
I moved to a new city when I was 6 months along for him. That was the first time he put hands on me. I was choked. Repeatedly. Thrown into the cold on concrete. Twice. ā€¦ that was just the first time. I come from a place of no judgment here, but watch who tf you sit here and have a child with. I wouldnā€™t trade my baby girl for nothing. But man, the shit I went through just to have herā€¦ it was a lot. If he loves you and means it, then baby can wait til after school. Get your dream and get established. Learn the man youā€™re with, First.
Go get yourself some form of birth control in the mean time. Itā€™s not worth being trapped.

If you have to ask, then you know the answer

I think someone who is driven enough could, without a doubt, accomplish medical school with a baby. But I know that even as a full time employee at a job that I donā€™t have to really take home with me, I feel like I miss out on a lot and itā€™s hard. A lot harder than most people really realize. Iā€™d say if you get pregnant accidentally, you should be proud to show your child how driven you are to still accomplish your dream. But also, Iā€™d say that if you can wait, wait. And take every precaution you can to allow yourself that time. Youā€™ll be really grateful in the long run that you donā€™t have to be as absent in your babies life. You only get to watch them grow once.

I stopped reading at we been together 2 months and we do fight sometimes. First your already fighting 2 months in second you donā€™t know shit about him after 2 months. But go ahead and have that baby. Odds are you be single before you push the butt nugget out girl you stupid

Meeting and trying to get pregnant in 2 months is a big red flag, also men that are good men do not brag about or have to talk about what great men they want to be. They show it with their actions.
And how much arguments are you getting into in the 1st 2 months? because that is the honeymoon stage, if youā€™re already arguing you need to take a big step back and really look for them red flags.
Sit him down and say OK this is what we want, so thatā€™s the plan, but getting pregnant right now is not a great way to start.
Get on both control, and work on your medical career, let him work on being a good man And then plan kids when it is more feasible.
when you talk to him, watch him closley, really look and listen to what he says, because if he cannot communicate and compromise in a civil manner Then you need to rethink this relationship.

Donā€™t rush into pregnancy , take your time . Remember to put yourself first meaning start your schooling and see weā€™re your relationship goes , itā€™s always best to really get to know someone and no there flaws and it takes time . Just embrace the love yā€™all have for another, too many people rush into things and then it ends badly .

Itā€™s only been 2 monthsšŸ¤¦

Ummā€¦ Not the best idea.
Look, Iā€™m not saying donā€™t have kids or go to med schoolā€¦ From experience, itā€™s harder to do with children.
Focus on your goal and wait a little bit. Provided youā€™re healthy, having children over 30 isnā€™t the end of the world.

How are you even in med schoolā€¦you donā€™t seem very smart to me

I fell pregnant 2 months into my relationship, we did split 2 and a half years later however it was for a short time & we recently got back together last yearā€¦ we have 2 beautiful boys & whilst I never had any - dreams - to be a specific something in my life, mine was always to become a mother & it was the greatest thing iā€™ve ever done.
If your partner doesnā€™t work much & heā€™s serious iā€™m sure you can still attend med school whilst he cares for baby while youā€™re studying. :smiling_face: this is definitely something that needs to be sat down and spoken openly about between you two.
express your concerns & he can express his, figure out ways how you can parent whilst doing this etc.
Good luck!

Go to school. Travel. Find yourself. Have something thatā€™s yours that no man or person can take away because you earned it. You can fall in love have babies etc but itā€™s too soon. You donā€™t really know each other and guess what anyone can bang it out and get good at it and say whatever they want to say. Protect yourself. You are smarter and better that. What are his dreams, goals etc an what does he want to do besides impregnate and control/dominate your life. You guys need to pump the brakes. This sounds like a messed up control tactic thatā€™s creepy and wrong. Go to school

Yes you are. Think with your head. Slow down. Be careful. Most relationships are like this in the beginning. Hopefully it does last but what if it doesnā€™t? Do you want to be a single parent or do you want to slow down, take your time, and bring a baby in when you have some history with him and things are more solid? What would you tell your sister, best friend, or daughter to do? Take the advice that you would give.

Your child will be the one that suffers ā€¦ trust me !!! That has :triangular_flag_on_post: all over it. Heā€™s not the one for you !! Thatā€™s lust!

You Can have anything you want. Just do it. Heā€™s will to support you emotionally and wants to help you.
If a man is willing to change for the woman he loves , donā€™t lose him. I knew my husband 3 months and knew we would marry. 29yrs in August. No one can tell you whatā€™s right or wrong when it comes to things if the heart. As soon as my husband took my hand when we met I thought I was going to die. My heart stopped and it scared me. Youā€™re a blessed woman. God will find a way. Just ask him. God bless yā€™all.

In 2 months you hardly know his favorite ice cream. You both need to be tested for STD"s. You need to get on birth control and get married. Later, after medical school, you can have babies. You have time. Have you noticed your boyfriendā€™s sister hasnā€™t had a baby. Follow her lead.

Youā€™re 27, not 18. So you can get pregnant and be fine, most likely. Honestly Iā€™d wait for two more years because thereā€™s a significant mental distance between 23-25-27- and 29. I know it sounds crazy, but the brain does a lot of growing in that time. Start working on your goals, and then if it happens, it happens. But I would wait, lol.

Iā€™m 29 with a 10-month old. There are still some nights I donā€™t sleep and she literally is a full-time job. Itā€™s possible to go to college with a baby but damn near impossible for medical school. If you wanna be a Dr and a mom, get that degree first. If heā€™s still around after that and you both still feel this way, THEN try for a baby.

If he isnā€™t encouraging you to better yourself, he isnā€™t the one. Educate yourself, what is meant for you will be yours!

Chase that dream :dollar:
Then have a family

My opinion, you shouldnā€™t be asking other peoples opinion. You should go with whatever you feel is right. All these people saying wait, on the other hand you donā€™t want to be 40-50 yrs old still raising a kid. It is best to be with someone a while before a child but most of these peopleā€™s grannies had 16 kids at the age of 20 and been married for 60 yrs. Just do whatever you feel is right. Some peopleā€™s dream is not just a career but having a family and babies.

Hell no not after a cpl of months
