Speaking of Whoops...

2 friends told me that they found out this week that they are KU and it was unplanned. Both have multiple kids and young babies. Both were in tears (but both great mommies and I am sure will be fine after the initial shock). Would you be upset if you found out today that you were unexpectedly KU? Or would you welcome the surprise?

LoveActually4 · September 2013

I would be physically, emotionally ad financially fucked.

ETa: deep, deep down I want more.
I'm sure I could make it work but there would be a lot to work through.

FrickandFrack · September 2013

I would be financially fucked but happy to have my last LO.

ILoveBoys · September 2013

I think shocked (hubs got a vasectomy in January!) but a little happy. I always wanted 4-5 kids but we stopped at 3 since our oldest is 8.

flyingsaucer · September 2013

I would secretly love to be pregnant again and have another baby, but I really don't want another kid, does that make any sense (like, I love the baby smell, but have enough on my plate with our 3... Incl SS)?

MrsT0514 · September 2013

I'd be scared as fuck...MH would probably shit his pants, but after the initial shock wore off, we'd be happy and excited.

That said, we're planning on TTC baby #2 sometime within the next year or so anyway...but with DS only being 8 months old at this point, we're thinking closer to that one year mark!

ASmallWonder · September 2013

Hysterical. Financially ruined and wanting a refund on my tubal.

Spapeggy · September 2013

In tears, upset, guilty about feeling upset

This exactly.

Spin313 · September 2013

I just sent my oldest off to kindy, so emotionally I'm missing those younger years right now. But DH had a vasectomy and we're totally done at two. It would be life altering to have to start again with a non sleeping newborn, and the financial obligation would be hard to swallow.

jbatch · September 2013

I'd be excited! We are not ready yet but we would get ready fast if we had to:)

NativeFloridian · September 2013

I would be so fucking mad. And pretty much beside myself with fear because I am broke, dudes. Broke.

I need some time to recover financially beforehand if I'm ever going to find myself unexpectedly up the duff again.

virgin4lyfe · September 2013

i would be pretttty shocked because it would be the immaculate conception.
but if i were actually in a scary moment, i think most of my family is fairly supportive so i'd probably live.
ETA: live through it, i can't talk.

theimpossibleastronaut · September 2013

My DD is only six months old so I would definitely be scared, upset, and overwhelmed. I'm sure we'd make it work somehow financially, but I'd be really freaked out.

Edited: I would love the LO of course, but I'm just not ready to be a mom to two yet.

MrsT0514 · September 2013

@RiverSong82 I'm with ya. Having another LO would be super exciting, but also so overwhelming right now. On one hand, it'd be great having them so close together. OTOH, I'd feel guilty for not taking more time to devote to just DS. KWIM?

EMOmamma · September 2013

Flip out. I have Mirena and if it happened I don't even know how I'd tell H b/c he wouldn't be happy either.

proudworkingmom82 · September 2013

I would freak out completely, I am getting married in 7 months and I do not want to be pregnant right now. Once I'm married I don't care if it happens before planned.

theimpossibleastronaut · September 2013

@MrsT0514 yes, that's how I would feel concerning DD as well. I totally get what you're saying.

LaurelBee · September 2013

I would be excited

call me crazy. Money would be tight, but I want a third. Dh says no thanks...

msdrdg · September 2013

I would flip my ever loving shit!
I want another more than anything in the world, but we would be beyond financially fucked.

meg_2006 · September 2013

Excited, it would be perfect timing since I'm a teacher. But I've also had babies on the brain lately...

pghmortdoll · September 2013

Terrified because I have Paragard.

I actually can't wait to TTC #2. We are going to wait until the end of 2014 & I already have babies on the brain.

Rach21 · September 2013

I'd be thrilled, but we're trying so it's a little different for me.

Maebb · September 2013

I have a 9 month old, and I'm BF and haven't started my period back, so I would be surprised. But I'd also be happy because we're hoping to have another child within the next 1-2 years.

LaceFace14 · September 2013

In pretty sure I'd sink into depression. I'm done.

gimmietimmies · September 2013

If it happened again? I'd flip my shit completely. Or lop dh's nuts off myself - seriously, if two different doctors couldn't get it right, I couldn't do any worse.

I would be upset with DH and myself because we didn't take the necessary precautions to prevent. Ask this question in a few weeks to see where I really stand. I am a little nervous.

Even taking precautions shit happens. Ask me, I know.

#5. Almost two years post vasectomy this happens. https://www.vasectomy-information.com/moreinfo/recanalisation.htm #1 on the pill and condom. #2 IUD failure. Yeah, I wish I were that lucky at lotto numbers.

Littledeer84 · September 2013

I would be happy, we have been trying for awhile with no luck.

SoDoMojo · September 2013

I would die.

nanabanana06 · September 2013

I'd be scared and maybe a little worried. We could do it, but things would be tough. We're not sure if we even want another kid and if v we do not for another 2 to 4 years. I'm like 75% positive I'm done though.

missyishere · September 2013

Team upset. We don't want anymore. 2 kids and we're good TYVM.

klondikebar · September 2013

Upset and pissed off would be an understatement. DH and I are both fixed. If I got pregnant, I would wonder what I did in a past life to deserve it.

scorch · September 2013

I would be really excited, as long as it wasn't twins again. I cannot do another twin pregnancy. But a surprise baby isn't likely because I have pretty severe PCOS and all my children were frozen embies.

jenmom2girls · September 2013

Dh and I have both said we are done, but if it did happen I don't think either of us would be to upset about it.

Nechie122 · September 2013

I'm about 90% sure we're one and done, but I do worry about whether it's something I'll regret down the road. I'd probably feel many things, but perhaps also a bit of relief to have the matter finally "decided" so I don't have to question my choice anymore.

That said, I have Paragard, so I'd be terrified about an ectopic and the miscarriage risk.

wiggyslilsis · September 2013

I would probably have a panic attack and DHwould calm me down and say we can do this but it would change everything. Our finances and goals do not fit with having another little rright now. Right now we are planning to try to have another in like 2 or 3 years but I am not sure. Right now I am happy and content with the one we have.

LadyXaverian · September 2013

Freaked out a little bit. We're almost sure we're going to TTC in about 5 or 6 months, but there are some specific things we want/need to do before then. We'd be ok, though.

MelissaRae1525 · September 2013

I want to finish school before having another. But part of me is afraid to have them too far apart. We would deal. The biggest things that would worry me is my IUD and just having a c section 8 months ago.
