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

There's always adoption.

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

I know of two wonderful families right off the top of my head that are wanting to adopt so bad. I actually placed my first born with one of the families I am talking about. PM me please OP, or anyone else who is pregnant and doesn't want to keep their baby for one reason or another. You could really make a lot of people happy.

? so many people try and try and try for kids, and can't. Now you are complaining that you can't kill it. Honestly, if you don't like it, you can give the poor child up for adoption. Or you could deal with your consequences and raise the child that you made. It would surprise you how much you love a child that's yours

Okay but how about you don't try to make them feel guilty for not wanting a kid. They were totally stupid, yeah, but don't guilt them.

Have you seen the statistics on how many parents kill, abuse, rape, and torture their children? Not everyone is cut out to be a parent and the sooner people admit that the better. And for tons of people there is no shining moment of pure parental love where they bond with their baby. That's a dangerous myth that increases chances for post-partum depression.

I'm just curious, couldn't you tell after missing a couple of periods?

Well A.) You can give it up for adoption. That is a thing. And B.) Maybe get your tubes tied or get him a vasectomy if you both hate kids that much? You'd think for a couple who doesn't want kids, (which is completely fine, btw some people just can't handle having a kid or really don't want them) you would have thought of ways to completely avoid an accidental pregnancy. Plus vasectomies can be reversed btw so if you did end up changing your minds you could have still had kids. You definitely deserved this.

Rose, judgmental much? The US actually makes it very hard to get sterilized, since we assume everyone wants a baby and will regret the decision. You have to jump through so many hoops if you're under 35 to get your tubes tied, it's almost not worth it. And the next best thing -- an IUD (assuming the OP doesn't have some medical contradiction to it, which happens) -- is 99.8% effective. That's about 2 pregnancies for every 1000 women, which adds up quickly. Maybe OP is one of those. For all you know they were using two forms of birth control and both failed; I know plenty of babies born that way. Why always assume the worst and jump to judgement? Does that make you feel better about yourself, is that it?

Hey OP, it sucks that you've only noticed that late (not sure how that happens unless you're VERY irregular). Though I think the legal abortion "age" in the US is 20 weeks? At this point you pretty much have no other choice than carrying to term unless there's a defect that will kill the fetus. I'm having an abortion myself next week (double failed contraceptive), so if you want to chat, message me. All these people talking about carrying to term and adopting don't realize how hard both of these things are on you.

If you hate children why wouldn't you take precautions to avoid getting pregnant? I feel bad for your future child...

You know? I'm surprised they have closed comments on this. But before they do, To anyone saying shit like "YDI" and "Could've used a condom/control/ etc" ******* because god forbid two consenting adults have sex with each other and because they don't want children they totally ******* deserve it. And because shit can fail, shit can happen. They don't want the baby so how the flying goddamn **** do they deserve to be pregnant? Goddamn. I mean jesus christ. They don't deserve to get pregnant because they had sex like adults do and just don't want children. God these comments are ******* stupid. And yes, my veggies are pretty steamed over this.

7 years after being told by doctors that I couldn't have kids, I also found myself pregnant. In 26 days I'm scheduled to welcome a baby boy I am still very NOT prepared for. (dad took off, fantastic fella) There are lots of options still available to you, op. and you might find yourselves changing your minds along the way. No matter what you and your hubby ultimately choose, I wish you both the best.

I'm really sorry to hear about your baby's father. I wish you the best of luck and hope you have the support from other family that you need. You didn't mention whether you were keeping the baby or not, but whatever your decision is, I wish you nothing but the best. I've known lots of single moms and some of them are some of the best and toughest people I know.

I'm going to assume that you didn't wear a condom or take a pill, in which case, I don't understand how you can expect sympathy from the people here. If you did wear a condom and it broke, that sucks, and I do feel bad for you. In the end, you can always put the baby up for adoption.

I **** girls, so I don't get pregnant. However, it boggles my mind how ignorant people are about BC, childfree people, and sex in general. It is very likely that people who hate kids are not going to **** without protection. Everyone I know who doesn't want kids wants to make sure they never get pregnant. Ever. This means applying for perm. birth control. Which is hard. Because people assume you have to want kids and that you will have them/change your mind eventually. So anyone under 35 who doesn't have kids doesn't get sterilized unless the doctor is awesome.

"I'm going to assume you didn't wear a condom or take a pill" Why? Why is that your first assumption?
