I don't have kids but it seems like there are a lot of young women on this site who have children. Did you plan to get pregnant or did it just "happen"? A friend and I were talking about this and we would like your opinion.

    I have a 2 year old boy, he wasn't planned but when we found out we were overjoyed, wouldn't have it any other way :)

    I planned all 3 of my kids. It annoys me that everyone assumes they were accidents because I am young. :grumble:

    One of mine was planned, the other was a result of a sexual assault so no, he was very much not planned.

    We were to the point where we thought we couldn't have children and then four years later BAM, preggo. Unplanned but overjoyed.

    I was on birth control and got pregnant anyway... but I wouldn't trade our son for anything!

    I don't think that was the assumption. Most of my friends are late 20's and very few have kids and we were discussing why it seems that way.

    I have children ages 11 and 9 and they were very planned. I do not believe any child/pregnancy is an "accident." Any child is a gift, whether planned or not!

    Sure wish I could have talked hubby into baby 3!!

    OH MY GOD, what a horrible idea for a thre---wait, nvm. I just realized it is TMI tuesday and MFP is the overshare capital of the world. Carry on. And break your comps before your kids learn to read.

    I have 3 kids...none of them were "accidents", so much as in pure defiance of birth control. So, no, none of them were planned, but were apparently very determined!

    My first child was planned and technically we had plans for a second one but not so soon after my first :laugh:

    If you read the fine print, those pills are on 99% effective. So I feel honored to have kids in the 1%!

    I got pregnant accidentally-on-purpose at the age of 30. (Diaphragms don't work if you leave them in the drawer.) While it did get my then-fiance to agree to a wedding date, the marriage ended badly after 13 years. DS, however, is one of the major sources of joy in my life.

    My nephew is in grad school at Georgetown with one year to go and was married last June. He and his wife are in their late 20s. She discovered that she's one of the women for whom BC pills don't work after she got pregnant. With twins. They're due in August. Fortunately, his parents are genuinely wealthy (I don't know hers). I'm sure they'll do whatever they can to make sure he finishes his degree and they'll be fine.

    The first was planned, the second absolutely was not but he was the best surprise ever. They're 15 months apart to the day.
