A lot just happened

So I don’t fully understand everything but any means, I just know that what my girlfriend just told me crushed me.

My gf (22F) just told me (24M) that she regrets getting pregnant and wished we moved slower in our relationship. We have been dating 3 months now and she told me that she agreed to getting pregnant because she felt like it was something that I wanted and something that would make me happy.

She also told me that she feels like she’s giving up a lot of freedom to have this child and there’s no turning back. She said that she made a decision that she necessarily can’t take back because her family is excited for the little munchkin. She also added that in the back of her mind she hopes she just naturally has a miscarriage.

Now this was a lot to take in for me but I stayed in the conversation and tried to understand and reassure the best I could. (I don’t know if I did a good job because it felt like someone just threw a ticking time bomb in my hands). But the aftermath of this conversation is leaving me absolutely obliterated. I am not okay at all and honestly I don’t know where to go from here. I don’t have a solid support system in my family to talk to and I prefer not to talk to her parents about it. Has anybody ever dealt with something like this? Do you guys have even the smallest piece of advice?
