This does sound like a Jeremy Kyle story. The introduction would head **** so many people.
How is "deciding to have unprotected sex" bad luck?

Bad luck? Nope just stupidity. Most people can reduce the odds of getting pregnant by using contraception.
How many people get pregnant because the contraception failed versus those that got pregnant because they just thought they wouldn't.
One of the above example is often well educated, well rounded member of society. The other is often far removed from the previous example I.e a perfect Jeremy Kyle show candidate.
Bad luck happens more than most people think I know lots of people in relationships who have fallen pregnant by accident but at a time in there life where they hav just accepted it is supposed to be and got on with it. Wether it's a burst condom or a forgotten pill it doesn't matter it's still bad luck.
You do know that the only form of contreception guarenteed to work is abstinence?
You said it yourself contraception reduces the odds not eliminates the possibility and way to go with the stereotypes.
Cut him a bit of slack! If you aren't sure this is my understanding
- The man has a sister
- Sister had a relationship with a womaniser, who womanises
- Baby is on its way and the relationship isn't steady
- The man wants to know what to do
From experience, I never get involved in relation family problems, somehow they end up blaming you.

You can always double dutch. Condom + Implant for example is almost as fool proof as not having sex.
A split condom is bad luck, partially. I've had condoms split on me and I've noticed after all it isn't that difficult to tell.
Forgotten pill is, however, not bad luck rather incompetence on the pill takers behalf.
Reduces the odds enough to the point that getting pregnant is not statistically speaking very likely.
As for the stereotype - it's a stereotype for a reason. Watch shows like Jeremy Kyle and the guests who get pregnant.
Nice attitude, try pulling that line out if your ever with a girl who forgets.
Still a terrible way to tar every person who gets pregnant by mistake, you don't see the hundreds of normal people this happens to as they don't go on Jeremy Kyle.

If a woman does not want to risk getting pregnant and chooses to use the pill it's not too much to ask they remember to take it?
None of the women I've dated have forgotten though...
Go back I re-read what I said. Those who use contraception and accidentally get pregnant are statistically more likely to be better educated, have more common sense than those that don't use contraception and then look surprised when then end up with a bun in the oven.
It is not rocket science.
Like I said, bad planning. Forgetting something means you didn't plan it very well.
Split condoms are obvious as well, time to get a morning after pill if that happens, you have what 72 hours to get one so there is no excuse.
I'm old (36) and I don't think I know anyone who has had a baby accidently after a contraception has failed. Of course it happens but in the examples you give it is not bad luck at all.

Exactly. I'm 35 and the only people I know who have got pregnant by "accident" have been those who have not used contraception.
Indeed. Yet despite that fact I don't know anyone that has fallen pregnant due to "bad luck". You would have thought that it would be pretty common place if it only takes a bit of "bad luck" to find yourself with an unwanted pregnancy.

Unless bad luck is a euphemism for stupidity!
