To think most accidental pregnancies aren't really accidental?

If someone really doesn't want to get pregnant they are there are so many ways to prevent it that it's rarely a real accident?

Contraception, vasectomies, morning after pill etc.

I know contraception fails but if someone really doesn't want a pregnancy, they can double up & just more than one method?

Is it a lie that people just tell themselves?

Depends on perspective though doesn't it?

I had a lot of unprotected sex in my younger days and luckily never fell pregnant. So when I actually fell pregnant it was a bit of a surprise and I classed it as unplanned. 🤣

Obviously looking back I can say what an idiot I was but at the time I just didn't think I would get pregnant as I'd done it so many times before!

I was told I couldn’t have children . Had lots of tests then had 2 rounds of fertility treatment. Got divorced and thinking I couldn’t have children did nothing to prevent it . Fell pregnant with my son the first time I slept with his dad so yes it was a huge shock and I definitely wasn’t planning on being a single mum .
