[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can we stop with the “ unexpected baby” talk. We all know where babies come from and what we have to do to get them. There is no “unexpected” when you’re not using protection. [/quote]

Totally agree. There are lots of birth control options for women or a vasectomy for the man if you are done having kids. These unexpected pregnancies are obviously people who didn’t feel totally done so took no precautions.  That’s not really a surprise pregnancy. [/quote]

Well BC fails.  I became pregnant with an IUD, so there is absolutely times with unexpected/surprise pregnancies.

That’s exceedingly rare. Was yours an ectopic pregnancy? Typically if you get pregnant w an IUD it is not viable pregnancy.[/quote]

No. They aren't sure if the embryo pushed the IUD out, or it wasn't placed well. But it happened. It was a hell of a surprise.

Once that was over, my husband did get a vasectomy, but let's not pretend that BC is 100%. [/quote]

I don’t think anyone thinks BC is 100%. Nothings 100% at preventing pregnancy except abstinence. Even vasectomy has a failure rate. But fewer than 1% of people w IUDs get pregnant. So it’s still exceedingly rare. Most of the time when posters say they had an unexpected pregnancy they actually mean they weren’t being that careful/weren’t using BC appropriately.[/quote]

There was a YouTube thing where a couple got pregnant 10 years after her husband had a vasectomy. It’s rare but it can happen.[/quote]
