 Re: it may not happen to plan?
"We take for granted that having a baby is part of the natural order of things, so it never occurs to us that it may not happen to plan."
Does this mean "We think pregnancy always happens naturally. So we never think that it is something we can make a plan of." ?[/quote]
The last part of the sentence may be interpreted in three ways:
1. It doesn't occur to us that the timing of the pregnancy itself does not happen according to plan. i.e. you can can get pregnant "accidentally", without having planned this at this stage in your life.
2. It doesn't occur to us that the actual birth of the baby may not happen according to plan. For example, there may be complications that arise during birth, you may need to have an operation, or you thought that it will be over very quickly and in the end it took hours, etc.
3. It doesn't occur to us that, for some reason, you may not be able to get pregnant at all.
