| I'm speechless...my friends have 3 kids, all 20+ and out of the house. Out of nowhere, new baby! Scares the crap out of me. I have so many questions, but also just fears about the circumstances and if it could happen to me. Has anyone else gotten really scared or shocked by something similar? |

| Use birth control. It happens. |

Of course! My understanding is this was an unintended reversal of a permanent birth control...so yeah not fun. |

| It happens. Sex makes babies and birth control is not perfect. If you’re having sex, it’s always a possibility. |

| I’m with you, OP. Have friends who were about that age, same as me, and their oldest was driving when they announced they were having another baby. I had bad dreams about it. |

They had multiple children before 24?
I had a close friend who got a sister at 18 and her sister was 16. It was weird but obviously not out of the range of normal. A new baby gives many a new lease on life |

It’s slang, Grandma. Not OP, btw. |

| Google the phrase "change of life baby". Birth control until menopause, OP. |
