[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.

Thank you all. I appreciate the answers, whether you terminated or sharing your experience.

I don't understand that idea "no such thing as an oops baby." What's the difference between calling it an "oops" and "unplanned"? [/quote]

People just have these weird ideas that because birth control exists, any pregnancy couldn't have been an accident. Or they think that we should expect that sex will always lead to pregnancy? I don't know how many people say it but it is said every time somebody mentions an "oops" baby or an accidental pregnancy. I also don't know what they hope to achieve by saying this.

Anyway, OP, I haven't been in your shoes but for the families I know, with a third, you just adjust. I have a friend whose birth control failed and was religious at the time so didn't have an abortion, and she does think that three was too many for her. Her kids seem perpetually out of control so I can see why she thinks that. But she adores all her kids and her family is great. The car and house are tighter squeezes, they have saved less money than they planned, but they are happy. [/quote]
