Were you a planned baby?

Post Reply New Topic

My mother just got knocked up and that's all but she decided not to terminate the pregnancy and raise me as a single mother - she claims it was she who dumped my father and not the other way round although I don't think I should fully believe her on this - he wasn't a bad man, not a drunkard, he didn't use to beat the living daylight out of her either and stuff so I think she may be lying about this aspect of her life. And how did it look like in your case?

I'm pretty sure that I wasn't planned and was just the result of a casual fling. My mother always wanted me, though; she was happy when she found out that she was going to have me.

I was planned.

My mother claimed I was planned; that she had gotten married to my father, and then decided to become pregnant with me.

However... the timing does not coincide with her story. My mother "ran away" from home immediately after she finished high school in Tennessee, at the age of 19. She and my father joined the Navy as soon as they could, and got stationed in Virginia. They got married in the state of Virginia.

BUTTT.... Mom must've concieved me when she was still 18, because I was a full-term baby, and in fact, two days overdue.
Back when she was still in high school. Back when she was still living with her parents. Back when her and my father were still unmarried.

Unless she planned to get pregnant to get kicked out of her family's house or something. Just seems a bit suspicious, though.

I was not planned, but I was welcome.

Of course.

I was an accident, my mother told me this in a snippy tone.

I was supposedly planned. I don't get why though because my dad was such a bum and he hated me the moment I was born. His resentment was very obvious and made worse by the fact I wasn't affectionate (among other obvious autistic traits). She had been with him for a few years at that point and knew he was worthless. Ah well, it is what it is. Mom says she had to take fertility treatments to get pregnant with me.

I wasn't planned. My parents were married... but unfortunately not to each other.

I was planned. I just happened to be born, before my parents got married. I'm a bastard child. I hope I don't get flagged down, for saying that. Bastard need not be a bad word.

Helena Bonham Carter and Tim Burton had their 2 children out of wedlock, and during a Sweeney Todd interview Helena referred to said children as bastards. But she didn't say it in an insulting way, more like a matter-of-fact way. So I guess it doesn't need to be a bad word all the time.

Anyway, to answer the topic's question... No, I wasn't planned. My parents had my sisters about 10 years prior to having me, and figured they were done. But then they had me and my brother. They don't regret it at all. In fact, my mom says that she enjoys having us around all the time. (I think we prevented her from getting Empty Nest Syndrome)

Yep, I was planned for. My mom and dad had both wanted children and that's what they went for.

Yeah, I was planned. My parents wanted a 2nd child, so then I came.

no i was born because the drug store was closed on sundays

I was planned. I just know it.

I was planned. My parents had a hard time getting pregnant with me...I'm sure their respective mothers bugging them about grandchildren didn't help! (They'd been married 6 years when I was born.) My brother wasn't exactly planned, but they wanted another child. The doctor told my mom to expect a hard time conceiving again, but they got pregnant quickly that time!
