People sometimes feel uncomfortable when discussing abortion. You may talk about the abortion directly, saying "I had an abortion!", but most people will use a softer tone when expressing the pregnancy and the resulting procedure.
An unplanned pregnancy is exactly what it sounds like, a pregnancy you didn't plan for. You may also (unkindly) refer to the resulting child as an accident. Example: #1) This is an unplanned pregnancy and I don't know what to do. #2) The parents resented and mistreated the child because she was an accident.
To be careful means to avoid pregnancy through contraception and post-intimacy sanitation. Example: #1) I don't know how she got pregnant because she and I were so careful. #2) We drank too much and we weren't careful. Now, we are going to be parents.
To keep the baby means deciding not to have an abortion. Example: #1) Our parents forced us to keep the baby, even though we didn't want it. #2) We decided to keep the baby and destroyed our dreams in the process.
To get rid of the baby means to have an abortion. Example: #1) I got rid of the baby without telling my husband. #2) They got rid of the baby and now they'll never know the joys of parenting.
To terminate/end a pregnancy also means getting an abortion. Most people prefer to say this because it isn't technically a "baby" until after birth. Example: #1) I have consulted a doctor before ending my pregnancy. #2) Because of the strict laws in America, I went to Mexico to terminate my pregnancy.
