I've got a 3 year old and a 1 year old so I'm still relatively "early" in the Dad Game. I would repeat the following to yourself every moment you feel that inescapable rush of "oh fuck" barreling to the forefront of your mind:
We will be fine. We got this.
It can be tricky and taxing, but you're going to have the time of your life. Your girlfriend is in for quite a few ups and downs and it is extremely important you're giving her your full support before and after the kid makes their debut. She is going to turn into some hormone driven superhuman that can survive on 3 hours of sleep and you will feel feeble and weak by comparison. This is eye opening and normal.
I don't have any advice as far as support groups or anything like that, but it's not rocket science. You will figure it out. It's one of lifes greatest adventures.
