You had some great experiences given what I went through. When I was pregnant with my third (I have 5 now), total strangers would offer birth control advice. Since I'm Catholic and only use natural family planning, it was extremely insulting.

I know some of my pregnancies were because I was acting on a "risk day" so if I had wanted to avoid pregnancy altogether, I could have. It is rather sad when instead of rejoicing in a new baby and people treating you with respect, they act like it is the worst thing. I like that saying which is often attributed to Mother Teresa:

"How can there be too many children? That is like saying there are too many flowers."
