oops babies

Accidental pregnancy results

An oops baby is a child conceived unintentionally—the result of failed contraception or carelessness rather than planning.

The term is affectionate and slightly humorous, acknowledging the accident while embracing the outcome: Their youngest was an oops baby, but they wouldn't have it any other way.

Also called an oops.
