"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."

In other words, when a couple decides to spend their future together as life-mates, one of their plans is to start a family of their own. The assumption is, people form partnerships in order to bear and raise children. It's the natural order of the animal kingdom; Nature's "plan". But for some couples getting pregnant isn't possible; they can't have children of their own. Their plan to have children doesn't work out (i.e., having a family doesn't go according to their plan or Nature's plan).
