Any time in your life have you had a close call about unplanned pregnancy?
If ,instead the pregnancy did happen, how old would the child be now?
I would have a 20 yr old son/daughter. Im 42 now.
This is only if it was a late period,not “We took care of it”.
I would have a 16-year-old child who would doubtlessly be fucked up beyond all reason. There was no way I would’ve been a worthwhile parent at the time, and I have my doubts about how well the mother would have done on her own.
I’ve always been absolutely horrible with dates and such – if you were to ask me, I’d guess that was at least 20 years ago, but I have a permanant time-stamp for the incident. As I sat in the clinic waiting room, I watched the day’s breaking news.
Dodged the bullet during the summer of '86, between my senior year of high school and freshman year of college. The kid would be 23 now; it really hit me about several years ago when I realized that the kid would have been graduating high school that year.
Big scare about six years ago. I already had three children, and my (devoutly Catholic!) OB/GYN told me (during my last pregnancy) “Do not have any more babies; it would probably kill you!” When a devout Catholic says this, it seems all the more serious.
So, about six years ago, my period is three freakin’ weeks late, enough for me to go out and buy a home-test. Big sigh of relief when it turned out to be the onset of peri-menopause, not pregnancy.
If I had been pregnant, I’d have gotten an abortion. I’m sure it would have broken my heart, but I already had three other kids that still needed a Mommy. 
A couple of years after that, I had a complete hysterectomy, so there’ve been no scares since! 
The ex-wife and I had a few scares during our relationship, both pre- and mid-marriage. The oldest hypothetical kid from that union would be 14 now, the youngest 11. I’m still a bit melancholy about not having had kids with her, though I’m glad we didn’t have to drag kids through our divorce.
I had a scare with my most recent ex, just a few weeks before she broke up with me. She’d be 3 months pregnant now if it had occurred. Frankly, I’m somewhat suspicious that she actually was pregnant, but had an early miscarriage. She was over a month overdue, had a lot of the classic pregnancy symptoms (morning sickness, weight gain, etc.), and then had a debilitating period that was far worse than the already bad ones that she typically had. I feel liked we dodged a bullet there; she’s got major mental health issues, and I’m not sure a child could survive with her as their mother.
