Was Anyone's pregnancy a complete surprise as in you weren't trying to conceive?

What's your story?

What's your story OP? :)

My little DD was the result of a contraceptive failure, however we were both incredibly happy as soon as we even suspected I might be pregnant and DH was sure we had a daughter on the way before I even got my BFP. I had been on the pill but couldn't handle it, it was giving me panic attacks which was so unlike me. I switched to a barrier method (a femcap) and within a month or 2 I was pregnant but as I said we were over the moon. It was certainly a shock as I was only 21 but DH was 29 and we were in a very secure and loving relationship.

I'm now 30 weeks with our second, a little boy this time, and he was planned! So it all worked out very well :)

Kind of. We took 18 months to conceive dd who is now 2 so when she was 18 months we came off contraception thinking lets get the ball rolling expecting a few months and boom first month got the bfp, sooner than expected and smaller age gap than had thought but so so over the moon!!

I'm currently about 5 weeks and it was definitely a surprise (first time we had sex) but we're both happy about it, just hoping everything goes well

Mine was a surprise as I was on the pill and took it religiously as I was paranoid about it not working (because I was conceived on the pill too).

I was bereft when I got that bfp. I was sobbing like someone had just handed me a death sentence. I was 100% NOT ready to have a child. I was a jobless student in a rocky relationship.

Now four years later ds is my world. He is the light of my life and brings the greatest joy every day. My relationship with his dad is much better too now.

I look back at the girl crying in the toilets and think she really had nothing to cry about.

@billywigsting aww wow I love that story! I'm not completely but feel like my situation could be worse. We both work full time & although the relationship is still very fresh I feel as though we can make it work
