I am 48 years old. Unbelievably, I got pregnant after a one night stand, just like in the movie, "Knocked Up". My children are grown, 24 & 26.I even have grandchildren. My family would be horrified. This was extremely out of character for me. I was feeling so lonely after a four year relationship had ended and my mother had just died. There was no way I could have the baby. The risks of it being unhealthy coupled with the fact that I may not be around when the child graduated high school gave me no choice. I had always been against it in the past and was very judgmental against others who had abortions. I now understand how these women felt. I will never judge again. I hope to see my baby in heaven one day. |

Hello my name is Brittney and I am 21 yrs old. I was only 18 when I had my abortion in the year 2006. I was a 3 day procedure because I was in denial of being pregnant. I waited to long. I had the abortion because I knew the guy I was with at the time wasn't ready he ran out on me as soon as I got it done. He only came the third day and after that he was gone. I knew it was the right thing for me to do I had to finish school and work and I was way to young. I know legally I was a adult but mentally I was not. I know my baby is smiling down on ne and is in heaven with God. When I was laying there I couldn't even look at the monitor to see my baby or even ask the sex of it I was to afraid to I was already in enough pain. I look back now and wonder where would I be if I would have kept him or her but I don't regret the decision I have made, it was for the best thing for me to do. It is also the best thing for any young girl or woman to do if they are not ready. |

I am seventeen and up until about a month ago I thought I was madly in love .... turn's out the guy just used me got me pregnant and walked out of my life. tomorrow I have an appointment to have an abortion, right now I have so many emotions pruning through my body I don't know what to think. When I first found out I was pregnant I wanted to keep it, regardless of what anyone said then after a while I realized I wasn't prepared to give this baby the life it deserves and I think of that as unfair so I decided to send the baby back to god, hard to believe that I used to pro-life and judge women who've had abortions. I guess you can't really judge until you've been put in their shoes ..... I don't know how I'm going to feel tomorrow when it's all said and done but I honestly believe it is for the best .... |

I have been reading the web site which has truly been a help for me especially at this moment. I want to know however if theres is a number or anything where you can actually interact with a counselor or others. This is very important because I just had an abortion 3 days ago and really feel alone and need someone to talk to

Thank you for your site. It's so good to read about all of your experiences - even though I know I will never meet you. I had an abortion ten years ago and still to this day I feel so alone in my choice. I have recently started studying abortion for a university assessment. The more I read the more I realize - I am NOT alone. I now know that world wide, more than 40% of women will have an abortion. What I can't understand is why - as women of the world, we don't stand by each other in the choice we have made, so no woman has to go through this pain in silence again. |

choices. decisions. confusion. i found i was 6 weeks pregnant about two weeks ago. it was very unplanned with a guy who wasn't quite my boyfriend. after talking with my sister and friend, i decided to keep my baby. 2 weeks later, about 2 days ago, i started bleeding and went to the hospital. they sent me home saying it was a 'threatened miscarriage' and to just watch it. although im no longer bleeding, the thought of possibly not having this child really settled in my head and made me think about everything. i've now decided not to go along with this pregnancy. my heart breaks daily and i cry non stop at the thought of this. but i know what is best for me and this baby. i believe the soul of my child will come back to me in the next pregnancy. but for now i'll have to wait for my child. |
