I've got her pregnant

Hi,
Sorry but you'll have to change your plans.  You can't leave to Iraq without sorting out your private issues and you can't leave your gilfriend in that state / condition with things unsolved.  You'll have to inform your officers at the army about the problem, tell them the truth (that you just found you girlfriend got pregnant, she is in the 4th or 5th month, and I need time to sort things out).  You have to take responsibility.  It's not time to hide or to cry, better attend to it as a matured responssible person should do.  
Best regards,

well i think that you should tell your dad because he is going to be  a granddad

Hey Gavin,

First of all take a deep breath! You will get through this, how you handle it is up to you. You'll need to do some heavy thinking before you leave for Iraq so you can concentrate on doing your job and staying alive!! Do you really love this girl? Are you thinking of marrying her just because she's pregnant? Does she want to get married? Why didn't she tell you when she first found out? If you can resolve those questions then you can deal with the future. My advice, having gotten married because I was pregnant, is not to marry her unless you are totally sure you love her and want to be married, not just because she's pregnant. As for becoming a father, congratulations!!!!!! You just need to accept the fact that you are going to be a dad. You can decide to love this baby and take care of him/her, or walk away and have the courts come after you. Stand up for your paternal rights and do the right thing for you son or daughter! As for your father, he may or may not get over it. You can't do anything to change him, but I bet once he see's his grandchild he'll come around. Look at it as a blessing instead of a disaster and you'll figure it all out. Stay positive and stay safe!!!!!!!!

Good Luck,

Nita

Hi Gavin,

   I don't know about the rule in the military if you can postpone your assignment to Iraq.  If you can, try to stay to be with her.  If you can't turn your back on the commitment to Iraq, then you need to be brave and face your responsibility for the child.  Pacify her and be strong.  You acted like an adult by having sex with her so you need to act like an adult, and think like an adult.  

    Your dad and your mom will be upset because they didn't foresee you doing this.  You have to face all the consequences.  The most important thing is for that baby to have all the support from you.  Do not abandon your girlfriend.  Your courage will prove that you are a real man.

Hi! Dont worry about YOUR dad. Worry about HER dad. If she's still in high school he's going to murder you. Trust me. I know. I'm 20 and I know these things. Please stay with her though. Also, if y'all are truley IN LOVE, marry her. Just marry her. Please dont leave her defenseless against the world with a kid!
