Whilst my baby, wasn't planned, i still don't think it's fair to assume it's an accident.
I hate having to say over and over again, yes i was on the pill, no i've not had a problem in the two years beforehand. I can't believe the amount of people got on their high horse to tell me that i was stupid for not using more than one contraceptive method.
Or the so-called friends, that if i say i'm too tired to go out to a movie, or i'm not feeling well, or that i'm moody and mopey etc, they can get up and say, well it's your fault, you chose to keep the baby, or suddenly shun me because they can't for one second be understanding or supportive enough of the fact that i'm having a baby, and my life's going to change!
I think the most... amusing? part of it all, is that my best friends would turn around and go omg are you ok, oh no what are you going to do, shock horror, right our friendships over because we can't party anymore, and yet, in the sh*tscared state we were of telling out parents, they gave us the biggest congratulations!
Mumzy, you make a good point, i think i shall use this excuse to anyone and everyone from now on. I made a choice, to have the baby, accident or not accident, i'm still having the baby. DF has a good job, we've applied for a loan for a house, it's now very planned. Thank you for giving me a new perspective on how to introduce my life to people!
ETA - To AmyM, she's sound like a total b*tch! I know the grandparents of our families are like that, because they were the same when their kids had kids. They adore them now, but i think they find it uneasy because our parents have been so accepting, but when it was their children it was like they had been defiant little beasts!
I'm thankful, that my parents, and the P-IL were the most accepting people we announced our news to. DF and i have only been together 7 months and would have been 3 months when i fell PG, and his parents live in NSW and we're in VIc, so i was yet to meet them. I was terrified of telling them before we went to visit, but as i had a fairly distended abdomen, extreme nausea and aversions to everything under the sun, it even looked obvious, (we found out at six, decided to keep it at seven), so we told them the week before we left and they were still welcoming with open arms.
