How many of your babes were planned?

[kathmac]

Just wondering how many of your pregnancies were planned and how many were, well happy accidents?

All of mine were not planned so to speak ...

The first I was on the pill - didnt miss any or be sick or anything so dont know what happened there.

The second I was having trouble with the pill I was on so doc switched me to anoher one, told me to run the two packs together without a break and I would be fine - well I wasnt!!! Turns out after speaking to a friend which is a pharmacist you are supposed to use additional protection for the 7 days which the doc neglected to say.

The third well was our own fault really, was still breast feedng second, periods hadnt started again and we well were not careful enough really.

This time well had a merina coil for 5 years had it pulled out, thought would let natural homrmones kick in for a while as have been either on pill, pregnant or merina coil since i was 17 so thought would have a break and let natural hormones stablise things, supposed to be good and use a "welly" but one slip up so to speak without the raincoat and well was pregnat again 2 months later after getting the merina pulled! They did say t would take up to 6 months for normal cycles to kick in but I guess for me it was a lot quicker!!!

Hubby is now making noise about the old snip but has yet to book the appointment!!!

Blimey Kath that's some fertile stuff you've got going on there! This is my first, but totally planned - we've been waiting for ages (been together nearly nine years!) to be in the right situation to have kids, finally got married in 07 and bought our own place in April last year so started trying then.

Out of 5 none were planned

1st i was 17 and a bit dumb
2nd sort of planned but still a shock
3rd holiday in florida came back preggars
4th holiday in tenerife came back preggars
5th drunken weekend in Vegas

Moral of the story ,stop going on holiday

There does seem to be a definite holiday theme going on there, Sue...

Mine wasn't planned.

I was on the pill - hadn't missed any or been ill or anything. Turns out I'm one of those people which means the pill company can't put 100% effective on a packet.

On my meternity notes its classed as 'spontaneous conception'

 

[pacha]

I was on the pill and didnt miss any, nor was I sick or anything so totally unplanned

 

[sueken]

Its actually a drunken theme and as we get older we can afford larger hotel rooms with seperate rooms

Me too Frog99 - the doc told me that 'someone needs to make up the 3%'

 

[louears]

This is my first and totally unplanned and unexpected as i was told i couldn't have kids almost ten years ago

Oh - a miracle baby! Thats great.

 

[Frog99]

Me too Frog99 - the doc told me that 'someone needs to make up the 3%'

I wonder why after 10yrs on the pill my body decided to rebell now? - makes you wonder whether the pill ever worked or if it's taken me 10yrs to conceive...

yikes there's scary thought!

 

[splashmonkey]

Yay for miracle babies lou, it always makes me smile when docs get things wrong! and thank god they do...

3 out of 5 were planned

1st & 2nd i was young and stupid so didnt bother with contraception, then was shocked when i found i was pregnant .

3rd, 4th & 5th all planned but i was i little shocked at how quickly i got pregnant, stop using contraception one month (merina coil with 3 & 4, condoms with 5), pregnant the next

I am getting sterilised after this one

 

[Laurababs]

Dont have any others but this 1 was not planned.

OH was thinking of joining the army so he was away for what i thought was 2 months doing training exercises.etc, but he hated it there and after a month came home unexpectedly. I had stopped taking the pill while he was gone as my current packet had run out and i was too lazy to go back to the doctors for more We had unprotected sex a few times the weekend he got back, and thats when it happened (he reckons he had super sperm with all the training he had been doing)

 

[Sal88]

Ours was very planned. Had been trying since Oct 2007 with loads of problems. Nearly fell off the toilet when the test came back positive in Dec!! Can't stop smiling

sorry to barge in
my first was unplanned (ie young and nieve), 2nd and third were planned

 

[Becc]

Ours was unplanned but we were still thrilled straight away. Before OH and I got together we had been really close friends for years (both fancying the pants off eachother but never saying anything!) so to be expecting a baby on top of also having eachother just made everything complete

(he reckons he had super sperm with all the training he had been doing)

My OH likes to think that too Laura... as I was on the pill at the time and had been for years before even with my ex with no problems... so now he likes to think that contraception couldn't stop his super manly sperm getting me pregnant

 

[Mama 2 Be]

We have been together 7 years and agreed to try for a baby after we got married in September - got knocked up on the wedding night!

Bit of a shock that it happened so quickly but it was planned (just about! ) we're so over the moon!

 

[Frog99]

My OH also thinks he has Super Sperm - I think by getting us 'knocked up' they feel more macho manly!

 

[sally105]

Ours was planned. I have polycystic ovaries so we thought it would take ages to get pregnant.

I came off this pill in October and was pregnant by December. We are so thrilled and i just cant wait!!
