Hello,

Becoming a Dad is always a happy occasion. It's the real reason why you should stop neglecting yourself & start caring about your heath & well being. Gradually stop all addictions.

Having a child will make you feel younger. Before that get very sure if its your baby. Visit a Counselor or consult an intimate friend about the Pros & Cons of becoming an older dad.

Every individual is unique & every situation different. Try taking the best decision you can.

If you are financially well off & can afford to raise the child & if she wants to keep the child, you should. If you have problems or issues may arise, think properly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Nupur K, General & Family Physician
