Today, I learned that not only am I pregnant, I'm too far along for an abortion. My husband and I originally bonded over the fact that we both hate children. FML

Adoption. Then get yourselves fixed so you don't have another accident.

How the **** is this getting so much YDI? Even if the OP was neglectful with the birth control and not keeping track of periods, an unwanted pregnancy is an extremely horrible thing that no one can possibly deserve. Also, to the people quoting probabilities of various birth control methods failing, those probabilities are for one year of using those methods. If the OP's been sexually active and using her birth control method for, say, ten years, the probability of getting pregnant despite the birth control at some point in those ten years is much higher because you have to combine the probabilities of getting pregnant for each year. I found graphs for this (New York times article: "How likely is it that birth control could let you down?"), in ten years of perfect use of condoms, there's an 18% chance of getting pregnant, in ten years of perfect use of the pill, there's a 3% chance of getting pregnant. Combine those and you have a 1 in 200 chance of getting pregnant over the course of ten years while using both condoms and the pill perfectly. Sure, it's still a low probability, but it's not impossible. Then there's typical use. There's an 86% chance of getting pregnant over ten years of typical condom use and a 61% chance of getting pregnant over ten years of typical pill use. Also, maybe she was sterilized. There's still a 5% chance of getting pregnant despite that over ten years.

Closed adoption...seriously. There are tons of people out there who can't have kids of their own. If you hate kids, why are you not taking precautions against getting pregnant? Ydi. I hope you give that baby to someone who actually wants him/her.

I hope that child doesn't grow up unloved and thinking they shouldn't have been born.

You are about to find out how rewarding having a baby can be. I hope the love you feel grows in strength every day x

You know that stuff like this is just like spitting into OPs face, right?

I know it's a wrench in the plans, but it's never as bad as you think. The same thing happened with my husband and I despite using 3 kinds of non-conflicting birth control. I still can't stand kids but it's always different when it's your own. Absolute worst case you put the baby up for adoption, but once you see him/her... it changes things.

Eew, that yucky milk smell? I'm not buying into that lie!

If you find out yore pregnant Adam you don't want the baby, don't abort it. It is a human being, it is considered a depressed human being from the mother at CONCEPTION. If you don't want it then put it up for adoption. It breaks my heart how many people murder innocent unborn babies.

I'm sure there's another state you can go to that allows abortion at any stage in the pregnancy
