6. I was an "Oop's" baby as well.
We usually turn out the best... I hope.

13. I wasn't an "oops" so much as a "finally!"--they had trouble for a while
having kids.

Do they turn out well, like "oops" babies?

2. She was 30
but that number appears on two choices, so I don't know which one to choose.

24. Almost the same. My mom was 34, had 5, I was the baby.
Except mine got married right out of high school, never went to college. Common in the 50's.

Different paths, same result...more or less.

12. My Brother And I Were BOTH "Whoops" Babies
My parents, when they first got married, were TRYING to have my brother, and couldn't. they were using the rhythm to determine when Mom was most fertile...but, alas, no baby.

so they gave up and bought a house. no sooner than they were too far into the deal to back out...WHOOPS...there's my brother.

They decided to wait five years after my brother to have a second kid. Being Catholics, they used Vatican Roulette...or the rhythm...to NOT have me. Well, nine months after my brother was born...WHOOPS...my mom got pregnant with me!

So my brother and I are 18 months apart.

And after she had ME...both my parents told the Pope to go to hell...and began using birth control!

I'm the one who made my folks give up...LOL

15. 20
We had always thought she was 21, but she found out last year that her birth certificate was wrong!

So she got married at 19 then. (INS shotgun wedding!) I was a honeymoon present. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last.

17. Mine also had a similar problem
except she didn't have a birth certificate.

She always believed that she was born in 1926, until a couple years before her retirement the gov wanted her birth certificate...it took her awhile to get the parish records (TINY town in Saskatchewan) and she found out she was actually born in 1921.

It was a big shock for her, needless to say.
