One Reddit user found herself in an emotional situation when a long-term commitment to a childfree lifestyle suddenly crumbled. The user, posting to Reddit under the handle u/ThrowRA_fallopian_tu on the r/relationship_advice subreddit, shared her story in a series of posts that were later compiled on r/BestofRedditorUpdates.
The original poster (OP), a 30-year-old woman, explained that she and her 32-year-old fiancé were staunchly childfree. They had been together for two years and engaged for three months, maintaining a solid, shared vision for their future. They were incredibly careful, utilizing both birth control pills and condoms. When she began feeling nauseous and fatigued, she assumed she was sick, but a doctor’s visit revealed otherwise; she was 6 to 7 weeks pregnant.
