Thinking about being a father

Advice Request

Me (27) and my girlfriend (23) are thinking about getting pregnant for the first time in our lives, she’s completely fine and looking forward to it, me too but I’m kind of scared what will happen. For example financially or job wise because I only work nightshifts and sleep over the daytime. It’s stressing me so much and I don’t know how to get over that fear. I really want kids myself but I’m super worried everything will fail or go down the drain. I was a single child so I had no contact with babies or children before so I have no experience whatsoever.

Maybe some already fathers who had the same problem can give me some advice because it’s really bothersome for me wanting a child but being afraid of it at the same time.

Thank you from Germany 🙏🏻
