Planned Vs. Unplanned Children

"My best friend is one of those really competitive mommies. Well her 2nd child was planned and she is always telling me how you feel different about a child that is planned. Neither of my 2 were planned. How rude is that? Anyway, I would like to know how many fred moms had planned pregnancies and how many did not. AND the BIG question, do you feel differently about the planned baby than you do the "accident" if you have more than one child?"

my daughter was planned but i really can't see why youd feel any different about them whether they were planned or a surprise.

Im only pregnant with our second, but our son wasnt planned and this one was, I honestly dont feel differently about them and dont see how I would.. I did feel more stressed during the last pregnancy because I wasnt as prepared but I was by the time my son got here...

My son was planned and my daughter wasn't and I don't feel any different about either one of them.

Who ever said that to you, is a very ignorant and selfish person! I can't see why anyone would feel differently about either one of their children!

HI

I am 35 and a single mom of a 15yr old girl, 11 year old girl, and 2 unplanned 18 mos boy and a 6 mos girl. I feel the same love for all my 4 children. I had no intentions of having no more than 2 and conditions in the family changed and had 2 more babies. I love them ALL the same and with all my heart. So planned or unplanned there is NO difference. Your love for you children is unconditional no matter WHAT!!!!!!

Both my children were "unplanned", but definatly not unloved!!! Children are a blessing no matter how they come, and don't let anyone tell you any different!! For a mother to say that to anyone, and about her own children!!! That's disgusting...I feel bad for her unplanned bundle of joy!

My son was planned and my Daughter was a total surprise. I was upset beacause i got pregnet so soon after my son was born. My son was 3.5 months old when I found out that i was pregnet with my daughter, but i don't love either of my children any different than the other...and they are treated the same.
