I don't understand the unplanned PG thing either. As far as I can figure, a great many people (who probably would never frequent a board like this) just fumble blindly through life. Whether it's kids, finances, or whatever, planning isn't fun so many people don't bother to do it, they just let the chips fall where they may.
Our DD was planned. We didn't bother telling anyone until I was about 4 months PG. We have several siblings who enthusiastically announced that they were trying to conceive, only to have significant fertility problems. The constant questions from friends and family were tiring and they wished they hadn't. I don't think our families are the best when it comes to being supportive, they mean well, but just miss the mark.
