This is about your offspring....Did you align your stars or were they aligned for you?


For you planners who already had unplanned kids, did you find it "harder" to get pregnant when you were INTENTIONALLY trying to have a baby?

For the unplanned, how did your partner react?

let's talk about it!

stress seemed to make my wife more fertile, somehow.

First one was planned down to the ovulation for our honeymoon. She found out she was pregnant the weekend we sent the wedding invites out.

Second one was planned for the summer following a January move. She found out she was pregnant three days after we moved.

Third one was planned but didn't materialize when planned. Just as well since we weren't getting along very well at the time we were actively trying. A year or two later we were getting along fine and she decided she wanted two cats. I said 'fine, okay, but I'm not doing a damn thing so don't get pregnant if you bring them home.' She brought home THREE on a Wednesday and told me she was pregnant on Friday. Then she nursed him until he was 30 months, so it was well over three years before I got to hand the litter duties back to her. I'm still pissed about it.

When I met my wife...i knew off the bat she was the one
I had two hard rules
No marriage til I made over six figures
No kids till 30

We got married 6 months after I hit over the salary
We had our first kid 4 days before my 30th
second kid was planned 2.5 years after the first

we just wanted to wait until we were married. So once we said I do. It was if it happens it happens. It happened IMMEDIATELY! I was like wtf! We had a 2 month old on our 1 year anniversary

I nearly pooped my pants when I found out. All is good though.

we aligned. we planned for awhile. took us about a year and half to get our son. we had two miscarriages before him, which were really tough on my wife. to her credit, she was tough and we kept going at it and i'm so grateful we did. he's only 14 months, but he is literally the best thing to ever happen in my life. so handsome, smart and full of joy. i love being around him, even when he's being a pain in the butt (rarely, but it happens).

we were planning on only having one child, but now we're thinking we'll have one more.

I was around 20 and for 9 months thought that I had a made the worst mistake of my life. I was so depressed and scared and dreary for the entire pregnancy. Might sound corny but the turning point was when I first held her. First good feeling I had for 9 months. Such a weird realization....'y'mean there's actually gonna be some GOOD stuff in regards to this disaster?' Didn't turn back. Next few years were amongst the happiest of my life.

as I came.


2 weeks later we 'needed to talk'.

I had no facts, just a feeling. I wasn't trying to raise any children in THIS world (Thanks, Donald), but I wasn't taking any preventative measures.

she's 9. She's beautiful. She's me and I wouldn't undo it if I could.
