i want to try right now aswell! i have to be careful as im getting married at the end of the year so if i did fall pregnant now i'd be too far gone !! think i've been watching too many baby programmes !....... they dont help my broodiness lol
I haven't been in the situation until recently. The broodiness hit hard when a friend got pregnant last year, I hadn't thought much about babies til then! BUT we just found out that our nephew's gf is pregnant and the first emotion I had was pure jealousy, I was quite ashamed of myself (though only DH and you lot know that's how I felt - I hid it well from family)
We'll be seeing them next week and I know we'll be getting all the "you'll be next" comments but I didn't want to be next I wanted to be first
God I'm such a brat

So unfair when some of the people who won't appreciate their babies and some who quite frankly don't deserve the privilege get preg so easy
Im the same.
I had a hissy fit last week when I found out my OH's 17 year old sister is pregnant.
I wanted to and should of had the 1st grandchild.
Pfft. Still will be on my side of the family...
I refuse to see his side of the family because I know MIL will rub it in and SIL will just be complaining the whole way through her pregnancy as it was unwanted!

How did your SIL get pregnant? Was she actually using reliable contraception, or was it just something she was lazy about?
I've never understood how so many people have "accidental" pregnancies. Contraception these days is very reliable, there are contraceptive implants, the pill, condoms, even the morning after pill if something goes wrong, so there's not really any excuse to have a "accident" pregnancy.
I am always hearing about how so and so got pregnant by "mistake", which I actually find kind of annoying, because TBH I fail to see how so many people have "unwanted" pregnancies, it just doesn't add up...
Statistically speaking, if you look at the success rates for contraception, "surprise" pregnancies should be very rare indeed.
I know that when I get pregnant, I want the timing to be planned carefully, and both me and OH to have talked it through and be certain that we want the baby. The only contraception we use is condoms, but these are extremely reliable if you use them correctly, as we do, and IF something does go wrong then I take the morning after pill ASAP, so the chances of an "accidental" pregnancy are extremely low.

amy, I find this really harsh. I have read a few posts of yours where you talk about people being lazy with contraception and accidents not being accidents. I admit, I have never had a proper accident myself, a condom has never broken, and I never took the pill whist being with my DH (only because of my spots when I was not having sexual relationships), BUT, accidents do happen. Condoms do break, pills don't always work when you have a tummy bug, and you can even have the coil fitted and still get pregnant (this happened to my aunty for example). People that get pregnant accidentally could easily be offended by what you say, do think of this when you post. I must admit that the amount of times you have posted about this same subject makes me think you may have an issue with it for whatever reason. Just remember people reading when you write.

Couldn't have said it any better. I too have read several of your posts, amy, and feel the exact same way about how you accuse people of being lazy about contraception. I can't wait to read about how YOU accidentally got pregnant.
