How many of your children were planned/unplanned?

Question

If they were unplanned: what form of prevention were you using?

If they were planned: how long did you try before conceiving?

Any regrets or wishes you could do things differently? No need to sugarcoat, just be real.

*My husband and I have one daughter so far. She was unplanned, and I was on the pill, but she is the best surprise we have ever gotten. No regrets except that our hearts are ready for another child but our lives arent. We plan on 3 more in the future.

Answer 1

Answer 2

we've 2 young ones - the two have been planned. good earlier our first (son) became into conceived we'd had an unplanned being pregnant which led to miscarriage. We desperate that we would have liked to have a baby for the time of that being pregnant which ended too quickly - and now we are attempting for #3!

Answer 3

My boyfriend and I used condoms in the past but after a while we sorta gave up on the idea and left it up to chance to decide if we were destined to be parents or not Only July 14 2006 I gave birth to a baby boy My little boy was born with underdeveloped lungs since I have gestational diabetes that didnt get diagnosed until I have 6 months pregnant SO after 11 days in the NICU, We brought our son home (it was just three days after my 26th birthday on the 22nd of July) My boyfriend and I have decided to wait a while to have more children so they are not as close together as we were to our siblings

Answer 4

I have three children.My first daughter was a gift or surprise as I don't like to use the term unplanned.At the time I was on the pill.The other 2 children were planned.My second child took 2 years of trying and my third took 6 and a half years of trying.(And yes we were trying the hole 6 and a half years)

Answer 5

The first was a spur of the moment plan. The other two were well planned. We don't have to try very hard to get pregnant. My first was a one time shot. The other two, we just tried around when I should have been ovulating one month and boom!

No regrets!

Answer 6

I have PCOS and was told that it would be virtually impossible to have children so both pregnancies were completely unplanned. Both times we were using condoms. My daughter is the best thing that's ever happened to me. The baby that's on the way already has my hubby and I excitedly waiting for him/her.

Answer 7

I have had one child, a beautiful girl. she wasn't planned but as soon as i found out the thought of aborting her was unthinkable. we didnt use contraception because we thought my boyfriend was infertile (stupid assumption).
my partner has said that if he could do things differently he wouldn't have had a child so soon or gotten me pregnant at such an early age(18 at the time).
if you want more kids then good on you. pregnancy was hell for me and giving birth was a nightmare, but like we all say, all the good times with your child and watching them grow way out numbers the bad days.
you sound like a very loving mummy and should bless more babies with you as their mother.
