Sometimes it's clear that a child is unplanned - teenage mother, [b]mother in their 40s with several years between the last child and prior child[/b]. And the child will figure it out as he/she becomes an adult.

How many years between kids do you consider unplanned?  Just out of curiosity, since we are just now about to try fertility treatments and our first will be at least 8 before a second is born.  However, I'm not in my 40s, but my mid-30s.[/quote]

Note that I said "mother in their 40s with several years..." not just "several years between kids".

My best friend from grade school was born when her mom was 41. She  has 4 siblings. The sibling "immediately" older than her was 9 years older than her.

Great friend from college was born when her mom was 44. She has 3 siblings. The sibling "immediately" older than her is about 15 years older than her.

There wasn't a lot of fertility treatments going on in the 60s and 70s.
