[nextpagelink][/nextpagelink] When you have an unplanned pregnancy, you might hit panic mode. You might be upset and confused. You may not know what to do or how to respond. If the choice is to continue with the pregnancy, you may find you have a few hurdles to get over. These hurdles might include: Deal with what friends and family say and do. Friends and family may be well meaning, but sometimes their responses to your oops baby can sting. You might have moved on from shock to joy and are really surprised with a negative response to your pregnancy announcement. Remember, they are probably dealing with the assumption that you are just as surprised as they are, perhaps they are even remembering that time you adamantly said, “No more babies!” Many of them don’t mean to sound upset or too surprised, but just can’t help it.

Some families are so sure that the man has a vasectomy right before the baby born, just to be on the safe side. If not, that can happen after the baby is born. You may also choose to have a tubal ligation after the birth of the baby or at the time of a cesarean section. Talk to your doctor or midwife about other methods of birth control, some of which are permanent, others are not. Most of the time, the bonus baby becomes a great story to tell down the road.
