Donna Martin Elaborates...

...or should I say, Tori Spelling shares more information about her second pregnancy.

The actress/author/TMZ regular admits that her daughter Stella was not planned. She told People.com: "I was on one pill and wasn't feeling well, so I went off of it. Two days later, the doctor put me on another, and on that one day, we conceived. It was meant to be!"

After our recent discussions about the reluctance to admit when a pregnancy was unintended, it's interesting to hear a celebrity confess to the same thing. (Of course, she never said she ever struggled with the news, but whatev. You take what you can get.)

Some people probably don't care to know this information about Ms. Spelling. Others think it's terrible that she said the child was "an accident," at least if the comments associated with this blog post are any indication.

But in some weird way, I was heartened to hear her say it. Tori may be embarassed by some of her "90210" episodes. But there's no shame in acknowledging that a child is an unexpected surprise, and a happy one at that.

did the doctor not tell her that she needs to use a second form of contraceptive for at least three days after starting the new pill? or something like that...
