His mom knew my mom didn’t she never really liked me and she should’ve told my mom I was pregnant I was staying in her house .

I just turn 19 this year, I discovered I was pregnant when I didn’t get my period, I decided to take a pregnancy and I was so excited. When I found out I was pregnant I decided to hide it from my parent and the rest of the family, I only told how I trusted. My boyfriend was very supportive and was also happy. A week after I started spitting alot, started vomiting every time I brushed my teeth, I tried my best to hide it until my grandmother saw the signs. She suggested I was pregnant to my mother and she flipped, my mother was also in her late pregnancy. She said some horrible things to me, that I was a disgrace and I’m carrying a disgrace into the world and I needed to get rid of it or leave her house, she wouldn’t support me anymore. I was shattered and heartbroken, my boyfriend was still in school he couldn’t help me much, I’m suffering, I’m lost and I feel like I’m losing it. I did something I didn’t wanted to do because everyone kept pressuring me, my boyfriend doesn’t support me getting an abortion but he cannot help me. I just can’t get through this, I spend my days crying and finding ways to end myself and no one notices because no one cares. I can’t even look in the mirror anymore

In 2018 I found out I was pregnant, 7 weeks. My son was 10 at the time and I just become a respiratory therapist a year prior. I was 36 years old and felt like having a baby again was going to end my new career. My husband was shocked when he found out, but not in a good way. He only had negative things to say and never once told me we should keep it. I made an appointment at planned parenthood and started the process, ultrasound, pamphlets, etc. But 3 days before I was scheduled to take the abortion pills I started to bleed. I still went and took the first 2 pills at the office. The doctor told me I was probably already having a miscarriage, so I took the pills. I cried in the office. I cried on the way home. They offered no support. I did the other pills (vaginally) that night. I never felt such pain and was vleeding profusely. I fainted and fell to the floor. I bleed for 6 weeks before going to my PCP. When I told her what I did she hugged me and we cried together. I showed her the ultrasound photo from planned parenthood and she was shocked at where the embryo was located. It was so low, right on my previous Csection scare. She did an exam and told me that my cervix was still dialated and did an ultrasound, I still had remains inside me and had to have a DNC. I still kept bleeding for a few more weeks. We did another ultrasound…I now had a tumor growing in the same spot where my baby was. It grew to the size of a baseball so fast despite having 2 rounds of chemo..it was a placental site trophablastic neoplasia tumor. It was growing rapidly to the point where my doctor told me we need to do a hysterectomy or it could metastasize. I had an emergency hysterectomy 4 months after my abortion. I would have never been able to carry that baby because it was a csection scar ectopic pregnancy and planned parenthood didn’t even notice. I was having a miscarriage and planned parenthood still gave me the abortion pill. I live with such guilt and shame everyday. I cry alone because I have nobody to talk to about this. If I would have done it the right way I would have still needed to terminate the pregnancy because it would have been extremely dangerous. But now I live with knowing that I killed my baby that was already dying…if I would have went to my doctor for support in the first place I wonder if things wouldn’t have gotten so extreme. I pray everyday for forgiveness, but I don’t even feel I should be forgiven. I will carry this guilt and shame till the day I die. Please don’t have an abortion, it seems like an easy fix but it could bring on a whole new set of problems and heartache.

I got pregnant in 2010. I was 22 years old. I didn’t know what to do, I was confused. The only option screaming at me was getting an abortion. Its illegal in my country, so there are very little qualified doctors available to do it. I had a quack do for me and I ended up with complications. Took over a year with lots of hospital visits and medications to feel normal again. It took some time to decide if I wanted an abortion or not, so within that period I started bonding with the baby. Every year I imagine what that baby would have looked like after every year. 11 years down the line, I find myself in the same situation, still feeling lonely, lost and unsure of what to do. 33 years old, 8 weeks gone and still feel like I can’t handle having a child on my own, though every part of me wants the baby. I’m drowning

We were young and I lived in a brutal home. Stepfather’s can be beyond evil. I was on a lot of medicine to handle the trauma of home life. I didn’t dare tell my “parents” I was pregnant. The child was likely going to have some issues because of the medication but I was jot in a position to go to a doctor to find out; there were no privacy laws to protect a 15 year old. We went to PP and I was told that the baby “would feel nothing; it was “not yet capable of feeling” – but I was beyond 4 months. My boyfriend suggested the abortion – I didn’t even know such a thing existed. I went forward with it – a vacuum procedure and it was painful, horrifying and all I wanted was to die. Later I found out the baby does feel being torn limb from limb. I haven’t nor will I ever get over this! My then-boyfriend is also still struggling with the after effects. God help you if you ever meet a person that thinks that what my baby and I went through os “OK” – that person IS shear evil.

Don’t do it. I still think about it every day for the past 33 years. I have birthed 4 wonderful children. The first conceived only a few months after the abortion. Atonement or so I thought. It didn’t solve or cover up anything. But know that we have a Redeemer and merciful God who forgives everything. Although I don’t know if I will ever forgive myself, I am certain that Jesus has! I can tell you what I was believing at the time (from Satan, no doubt) but listen only to the voice of the spirit of god who loves you and you can rescue you from any situation and make it beautiful!!!

I was confident in my decision, but I also felt rushed. I was 4 weeks when I found out I was pregnant and I wanted to make a decision before it started really growing. The next few weeks were the hardest weeks of my life, I’ve always wanted a baby but I was young, broke, and not in the best shape. I didn’t feel comfortable bringing a child in the world while I was in that state. Week 6 I finally made the decision to get an abortion and after that my mental health started declining. I’m okay most days, it’s on my mind everyday more than others to the point where I’m crying and super depressed. I feel so alone even though I had a supportive partner. No matter what you’re always going to feel alone. My body even feels different, I gained a lot of weight due to depression and the pandemic which added more stress to my life. I talk to a therapist but I feel like this pain will never go away, it scares me. No one tells you the mental pain you may endure after an abortion and I most definitely wasn’t prepared.
