Was your first baby well-planned or a pleasant "oops"?

My first and second were a complete surprise..my third was planned hoping for a girl..didn't happen but I'm happy ...I hear some stories from co-workers about their daughters and I'm thankful for having all boys..

Mine was a wonderful surprise as I was told I could never have any children.
He'll be 18 next month.

I planned the first one of ours and DH didn't care. The next was planned since we thought we had an oops but we didn't and were disappointed. The last one was a complete surprise!

Little Wesley is our very welcome pill baby.

Well, I wasn't on birth control, so they weren't planned really but it wasn't a big deal.

Number 1 and 3 were oops babies. The only one we planned was #2

Our 1st was planned, but happened really quickly. I was off BC for two weeks and got preg. DD#2 was unplanned, but we "knew" it happened. I got preg with her when DD#1 was 5 months old.

I love them SOOOOOO much!!! I don't know what I would do without them!

None of ours were planned.

Ods was a surprise as the docs doubted I would ever get pregnant. Yds was planned

**Megareader** · 01-21-2007, 11:25 AM

Dd was very planned. It took help from a fertility specialist for me to get pregnant.

**Nemeweh** · 01-21-2007, 12:01 PM

Both were "Oops" babies. Kinda. DD is my "Diaphragm" baby and with DS we had tried (but not too hard) for over 3 yrs. After one M/C and a another year, I went in for my annual, to have my Dr. say "what would you say if I told you we scored?". (Bless his heart, he's been my Dr. for 10 years now so everything that happens to me is "we" to him lol!)

I do kinda wish my kids were closer in age (10 yrs apart) but I'm thrilled I get to spoil them both as little ones.

My first (DS-28) wasn't planned, second (DD-24) was.

No oops. Met in May, engaged 6 weeks later in June. Planned for a May wedding & picked out fancy dress and put a deposit down. Surprise end of July, hey- we're having a baby. Moved wedding up to November, lol.
We knew we wanted another baby & had our son 18mo after dd was born.

my 1st one was a definete "OPPS" sine i was only 16

**zakity** · 01-21-2007, 01:43 PM

They were all oops babies. With the first, we had a discussion and had decided to wait a year to have a baby. I was a week pregnant wen we had that discussion and we didn't know it. The twins, well, they were a total surprise. We were finished after the first. We had only wanted one child.
