For those of you who had unintentional or "accidental" pregnancies what were the circumstances (if you don't mind sharing)?
Condom Break? Pull out method failed? He didn't pull out in time? Didn't take birth control as prescribed?
I hear/see so many people saying they got pregnant unintentionally or accidentally and it just amazes me how often it happens while some people try and try to get pregnant and dont'/can't.
ETA- for those of you saying the withdrawal method failed can you be more specific? Did he pull out in time but you still got pregnant or did he just not pull out in time.
The reason I ask it that I've always used withdrawl method and just not had sex on days around ovulation. But somehow this week I miscounted or something. Thought I wasn't ovulating til this Monday or Tuesday but according to my chart I most likely ovulated the middle of this past week...
Condom failure here. They worked for 8 years too, the same brand end everything. lol Hey, nothing is 100%.

My first was a pull out baby.
My second was a plan b baby.
And there ya have it :)

The world is absurd, and beautiful, and small.
First time i was in BC and i got sick, threw up, it caused the pill to be less effective
Second time the condom broke, again i was in BC
Third time condom slipped off and still i was on BC
I finally found a BC that worked, and im celebrating 21 months wihtout being pregnant

The first time we were just being stupid and didn't do anything. Just young and dumb. Then with my daughter I was on the pill and I took antibiotics and didn't know they would conteract my pill. Haha. Talk about surprise!!
Quoting KairisMama:

Yep the only true method is not doing the dirty.. Oh and we did the pull out method and we got a lil surprise :]

I haven't had a Unintentional baby but my mom had 2!! lol My Brother and my little sister.. Both we're condom breaks...
Me on the other hand as a few ladies on here put it Im like Fort freaking Knox... Depo shot and condom at the same time.. we really don't need another baby right now!! LOL!!!

With my twin boys I was "on" the pill, but being very lazy about taking it since I had just got married I was too busy to worry about it. I don't think I had paid attention to my b/c pills at all around that time - oops! I got pregnant with my sons very quickly, and they were a wonderful surprise... Now with this baby it took almost 15 months of TTC so IDK I guess thats just the way stuff works out sometimes.
I took my birth control the right way every time (except this time.. I was refused a birth control prescription after my hospital stay...) Im pregnant with my 4th....
My oldest is a pill baby. At the time I did not know that antibiotics interfere with the pill.
The twins were a condom break.
I am pregnant right now with baby #2. I wouldnt say it was an accident more like a surprise. We always wanted another one but we wanted to wait untill be got a bigger place. ours was he didnt pull out soon enough and i went to go wash out but that obviously didnt work but its a welcome blessing
