“my wife got unexpectedly pregnant”

Between existing failure to conceive + the whole rather misleading notion about 'her eggs do be shrivelling up in her ovaries after 25/30/35 whatever' I can just about comprehend this. In fact read in Proceedings of Something I Once Read In the Newspaper, a significant % of abortions in the UK are performed on women over 35 who had assumed from all the propaganda about breeding while they still could, i.e. before that age, that they were more or less barren stocks.
