Your life will be destroyed and you will become a slave to a helpless human. There is a significant chance that your relationship with the mother will be end within a few years.
You can build a new life with your partner and the helpless human but it will be very hard work, especially if your child arrives with health issues.
Existing parents don't talk about all of this to those who are not yet parents. It's a big, secret, suffering club.
Hopefully it'll all be worth it for you because you already bought membership of the club!
P.S. Read Brain Rules For Baby. I bought it based on a recommendation on HN a few years ago. It explains the early years using science. I recommend it to everyone.
