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

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste
Congrats!
Today, I found out my husband is having a baby. Too bad I'm not pregnant. FML
Bad news
Today, I called my ex and told him I was pregnant with his child. He was thrilled, going on and on about how much he wanted to be a dad. I had to tell him I was going to abort it. FML
Today, I found out my soon-to-be husband and father of my unborn child is already married to another man. FML
How very dare you?
Today, I had the abortion my husband and I agreed on, after multiple forms of birth control failed. His family somehow found out, and now they're all mad at us for not telling them I was ever pregnant, with a child we never wanted, and took precautions to avoid creating. FML
Prevention
Today, I'm found out I'm pregnant. My husband and I spoke at length about how we were going to handle things, which included him "forbidding" me from having an epidural, because he doesn't want our baby to "come out addicted to drugs." FML
Today, my husband of 3 years learned that he's going to be a father. No, I'm not pregnant. FML
Today, I found out that I'm going to be a father. Too bad I can't tell my wife. FML
Planned parenthood
Today, I found out that I'm pregnant. I also found out that the dad has a fiancée. FML
Bad timing?
Today, I found out that I'm pregnant. I buried my 8-year-old son two weeks ago and had my husband serve me divorce papers three days ago. FML

Today, I found out my husband has been telling everyone he doesn't want a baby. He has been telling me he does. We have been trying for months. I'm now pregnant and confused. FML

There's always adoption.

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

If you would consider an abortion, you don't deserve to raise a child

While the OP has the right to dislike children the way this was written was very heartless and mean also adoption isn't as good as very one thinks there are thousands of children waiting to be adopted a lot of kids go their whole lives switching from home to home some of them aren't even wanted. I was in foster care most of my life. I was never adopted. Also I have an implant in my arm that's prevented me from having a child ever since I had my daughter there are different more affective types of birth control.

I you both hate children then at least one of you should've gone to get either tubes tied or vasectomy if not both

I have asked for 15 years to have my tubes tied. No one ever agreed to allow me to make a decision about my body, always assuming they knew better. Two years ago we lied & told a new doctor we had two children & the doctor allowed my partner to get a vasectomy. Everyone always thinks they know better. The system is f-ed

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but by the time it's too late for an abortion, didn't you have at least 2-3 months time to realize "uh oh, I got a bun in the oven, better hit cancel!" Seriously, how absent minded could you get? YDI. Unless you're one of those people who has really irregular periods. Then maybe you have an excuse. But still.

sickening to get an abortion. adoption is a better option and should be considered. you both should get fixed so this doesn't happen again!

It is not sickening to get an abortion. I am sick of anti-choice people shaming someone for wanting to get medical help for a condition they don't want.

OP, I understand your not wanting kids. I was dead set against it until my 30s and now I haven't been able to carry to term. It sucks you now have to put your body through such a traumatic event for a baby you don't want. But know there are many loving would-be parents out there who will give that child a good life and be very grateful to receive their ultimate dream, should adoption be your choice. Good luck, and I hope the best for you and your husband.

Why does everyone say ydi? This shit happens! There are forms of birth control that don't give you periods so you may not know until you're pretty far along.

Okay, to every saying that it's OP's fault, for all you know they were using every kind of protection available, and still got pregnant. Vasectomies cause discomfort for men, and trying to find a doctor to tie your tubes or remove the plumbing is damn near impossible in most places for women who are 'young,' because of social bullshit that every woman should have children. Especially the IDIOTS who say "It will be different when it's your own!" Not noticing can be really easily explained in that not every pregnancy causes side effects, and weight gain, especially weight gain that would have been over the Winter Holidays, can be thought of as being caused by simply eating more for no particular reason. As for the "why are you even looking at abortion, you should only ever consider putting them up for adoption," let me explain something to you. Approximately 70000 kids go into the adoption system in a year; only about 54000 of children leave it in any given year. 30000 children leave the adoption system as adults, with no adoptive family. Children in the adoption system are far more likely to face abuse and neglect, including sexual and physical abuse. Children in the adoption system are more likely to have mental, emotional, and/or physical disorders, with some being placed their because of the disorders, but many develop disorders as a result of mistreatment and neglect from both state caregivers and foster families. Children that are lucky enough to be placed in a permanent home tend to have a wait period of 3 years. Finally, of American citizens, 40% of adults have considered adoption. If 1 in 500 of those people followed through, the adoption system would be emptied. So, to all of you saying "I'd adopt your baby," I call bullshit.
