unplanned pregnancy

Accidental baby coming

An unplanned pregnancy is a conception that wasn't intended or anticipated.

The term covers pregnancies that are mistimed (wanted eventually, but not now) and those that are unwanted entirely.

She found out about the unplanned pregnancy at eighteen.

The phrase is more neutral than "accidental pregnancy" and less clinical than "unintended pregnancy," making it common in everyday conversation and healthcare settings alike.
