Knocked Up

Such a down to earth movie about having an illegitimate child and the choices the new parents face. A lot of relationship issues that I could relate to (snicker snicker dwellars right?) and overall an awesome movie about a nobody pothead and a girl trying to advance herself in her work having a one nite stand that turns into the rest of their lives.

But the reason I posted this was because as great a movie it is, it really makes me scared to be a parent. At 19 and a half years old I am enormously scared of rearing a child. I question if I could even be a good father; no joke, I seriously question my ability in fatherhood.

I am down right scared of parenting. How did you parents overcome it? When will I?

P.S. Anybody ever been "knocked up" or know somebody who has and don't mind sharing the story?

Not "knocked-up" but was with my wife for 13 years with both of us not wanting kids. One day she comes home wanting one.
I was pissed and terrified.
Six-months of therapy later I was "thinking about it". Later I decided to... just one.
Being scared means you know what it entails and you are smart about it.
