[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the odds are high that a baby was unexpected when it comes after a large gap to a woman in her 40's. One friend of ours had a fourth after a 16 year gap. My friend's mom had a sixth kid after a 13 year gap. Less extreme, an acquaintance had a fourth after a 7 year gap. I get the impression they were all loved and wanted after the parents realized the pregnancies, but I am also pretty sure they came as surprises.[/quote] I was a third, more than a decade after my siblings. Parents in their 40s had long given up trying for a third, assuming it could no longer happen at that point. What's really always blown my mind is the number of grown adults who felt compelled to blurt out to me, as a kid, that I was clearly an accident when they heard how old my siblings were. Think before you speak, people.[/quote]
