I also don't agree with the accident theory. She was on the pill, there was no reason to stop for her. She used the pill for several years without problems and she's not the type to think "Oh, hey, maybe messing with my natural hormones isn't a good idea." or anything similar. She does what authority tells her, with sheep mentality. She well may have had a fear of pregnancy and no desire to have kids but whether it was an actual phobia is highly doubtful. A person with such a phobia would not have had an accident. If she forgot to take her pill, she'd be sure to take precautions or not have sex. You don't need a phobia to do that, regular old fear would do. Anna doesn't strike me as someone who'd have qualms about abortion. She'd fly over to the UK and have it done.
They were in a slump post-wedding. Their moods and the vlogs were more dreary than usual, many commented on it. Some said that they gave into the pressure of viewers to have a kid. Hell, no, I don't think so. Well, not in the sense of pleasing the viewers, we know they don't care about that, and that would be too stupid even for them. They may have had the baby for the views--"Hey, the minions keep harping about a baby, it's bound to increase our views. And if we make a big deal of having it on YT, it'll be huge."--so for more cunning reasons.
Dofus may have made some kind of a deal with her. Maybe he whined about kids and guilt tripped her into it. Maybe he promised her things. Who knows. I also don't think she was completely against having a baby. Maybe the thought of spending all her future hours alone with Dofus scared her, lol. Also, for someone like Anna, who strives to project this traditional image--marrying, having kids, dogs and a house with picket fence--was simply the mindless path she chose for herself. It may have been accelerated by the friend who also had a baby around the same time. To me, it seems that in a way she enjoyed her pregnancy and having a baby because it gives her that outdated but age old status symbol. o yeah, not for all the right reasons, and she may not have allowed the enormity of it to dawn on her, hence the avoidance tactics like sleeping all day, angry outbursts, not becoming involved in anything deeper and just following some old worn out path and Dofus.
'Is that vodka?' Margarita asked weakly. The cat jumped up from its chair in indignation. 'Excuse me, your majesty,' he squeaked, 'do you think I would give vodka to a lady? That is pure spirit!'
