You found out you’re pregnant when you’re not planning on anymore babies (you’re on contraceptives btw)…how would you handle the shock?
Or how should one handle the shock/news?

Re: What if?
I’m just asking a question.
Re: What if?
Awwww, mubarak.
Re: What if?
happened to my SIL. She was in shock for quite a few months. She didnt tell anyone for 4 months, and she didnt start shopping for the baby (she had given everything away from her previous kids because she wasnt planning on having anymore) until she was about 6 months. Now that the baby is here, she is fine. Everyone loves the baby, and she is really happy.
So even if a child is not planned, they bring their own barakha and happiness to a family.
Re: What if?

Re: What if?
I'd be happy, though it was unexpected. We'd reprioritize to make a happy home.
Re: What if?

i'd feel same as sahar. my cousin had this happen- her daughter was i believe just past one when she conceived her fourth child. he was a total surprise and shock to her, but now she says she can't imagine life without him, and that he completed their family.
Re: What if?

Re: What if?
when it comes to pregnancies, there are no accidents, only false expectations.
Re: What if?
I don't call them accidents, I call them coincidences.
Re: What if?
they SHOULD accept it.
what they do or don't is up to them.
Re: What if?
Had this happen to a friend...she had an 8 year old son, and was adamant about not having anymore children, was on BC, blah, blah...well she got pregnant, about a month after her father passed away unexpectedly...it was an awful time, and she was so devestated...she literally refused to even acknowledge the pregnancy. Her friends and family were not allowed to even discuss her being pregnant in her presence, or talk about any baby related things..it got to the point that we, as her friends, had a kind of "intervention" to snap her out of her funk and show her that when Allah takes someone/something away with one hand, he also gives with the other....And wouldn't you know, she had another baby boy, and he looked just like her father....when you talk to her now, all she can say is how complete their family is now with the baby and how he's the biggest blessing, mA!
Re: What if?
abstinence is the only sure shot BC. Every other way is like playing Russian Roulette.
Re: What if?
^Yes T bhai, some of us kinda already know that.
Re: What if?
My best friend just had her fourth baby. She wanted to stop at three and right before she went back for her IUD...she finds out she's preggo again Mashallah.
She was shocked and scared because her husband travels a lot for work BUT they got over it quickly and welcomed baby #4 with open arms.

even abstinence didn't work for my frand's frand. the stork just dumped the baby anyway.
