oops baby

Surprise pregnancy result

A child conceived unintentionally—the result of failed contraception or carelessness rather than planning.

The term is casual and often affectionate, acknowledging the accident without suggesting the child was unwanted: My youngest is an oops baby, but we wouldn't trade her for anything.

Also *oopsie baby*.
