I thought through a few things...if you have been together as a couple for a while & are in love. You go out get married, find a small apartment which you can both afford. You work as does he. You finish college in between, work opposite shifts so you are not dependant strictly on parents for child care, ask them to fill in. When you finish college, he starts, and works.
Now, is the time to grow up fast unfortunately. Just realize, if he is a good man, is good to you, and will be a good father--marry. Be a family and set goals for yourselves. Save your money, what you can, take care of your baby. Many have done this for years, this was just unexpected so soon; it does not mean doom & failure. It will be what you both choose to make of it. No big wedding, just elope, and ask if people wish to give you a wedding gift, it be something you both can use in a household.
Continue to advance yourselves and grow together as you raise your child. It works, if you both work at it, it's the commitment you make to your child & a marriage. Those around you will be supportive.
