Did you plan your pregnancy? Were you married? Single? How old were you? I was 16, and yes, It was planned.

My first 3 pregnancies were planned. It took me about 6 months to get pregnant for the first 2, so I thought it would take the same for the 3rd. It didn't take that long, but we were trying. I then tried for 2 yrs to get pregnant for my 4th. I had to have some surgeries and the doctor said that I would not be able to get pregnant again unless I had another surgery. I decided that I was happy with my 3 children and so I decided not to go threw another surgery. Well, surprise.....I was pregnant about 3 months later. It was a wonderful surprise.

I had my son when I was 21 years old. He was not planned but he was the best thing that ever happened to me. Some of the best things in life come unexpected and are not planned. He was a wonderful surprise and if I had a choice I would do it all over again.

I was 22 when i found out i was pregnant. It wasn't planned but my boyfriend and i have been going out with each other for 7 years now and lived together for 2 years before i found out i was pregnant. I would have like to have planned it etc but accidents happen as they say.

Thank you for your input. I try not to call children accidents, but rather pleasant surprizes!

I was married at the time I got pregnant, we had been trying for about three years and had given up and I started a new medication that we were putting off until we had a baby. What a surprise it was when I found out that I was going to have a baby. I was 27 and she is the joy of my life.

I was 18 when I fell pregnant the first time, yes I was in a relationship, but not a very good one and I lost the baby (miscarried) then 21 when I fell pregnant again and again in a relationship but again miscarried... both of these were very unplanned but then I found my wonderful partner and we were together for 5 years and then started trying for a baby, it took us 9 months and we got pregnant, it was planned and the most wonderful thing that has ever happened to us!

My first 3 pregnancies (1 ended in miscarriage) were all planned, my most recent pregnancy was "planned" but happened ahead of schedule (we were going to try in the fall, but got pregnant that spring instead). I was 23 for the first 2 pregnancies (miscarriage and the next one), 24 for the following one and 30 for the most recent. I was married to my husband for all of them.
