[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%. [b]Nothings 100% at preventing pregnancy except abstinence. [/b]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]

Well, even that doesn’t work sometimes.

I had a friend in college who was “saving herself for marriage.” She and her boyfriend were basically just grinding against each other while naked and, guess what? She found out that you can get pregnant without ever having actual intercourse! She ended up having an abortion and never even telling the boyfriend about the pregnancy, but it was a huge, and surprising, topic of conversation at our sorority for a long time. Who knew?!

She and the rest of us were much more cautious after that, haha. I often wonder if her story is to this day being passed down at our midwestern sorority.
