Choosing to abort, but have nobody to talk to :(

(I posted this already in cc, but a few have suggested I move it here)

Firstly, I'll cut to the chase. I'm pregnant. 3 weeks. Not with the father and am probably going to get an abortion...

So the background... I had been seeing this guy on and off for 6 months or so. He is a bit of a bogan and unfortunately has very straight white middle class views of the world which is totally not in line with my thinking and is one of the reasons why we could never be together. I was out having drinks with the girls 3 weeks ago, he lived near by, so stupidly I called him to come and pick me up. We ended up having unprotected sex. Dumb, I know. And now I am pregnant. I have taken 2 tests to confirm. I have looked up home abortion methods, not backyard remedies like the coat hanger, but more herbal, natural or diet related things. I have read a lot of things that recommend taking excessive amounts of vitamin c, taking 4-10 aspirin (which sounds potentially dangerous?), and a number of other things. I am trying the vitamin c thing, but don't hold out too much hope for it. Ultimately I believe I will end up having to have a medical or surgical abortion, but from what I have read, it's too early for me at this stage of my pregnancy.

I love children and have many friends with babies or about to have babies, but I am not ready and could not financially or emotionally support a baby at this point. I don't have anyone I feel I can talk to about any of this. I tried telling a friend yesterday, I started the conversation by asking his opinion on abortion and he is totally ok with it, but then said "why, you aren't pregnant are you!!??". And so I lost the confidence to talk to him about it. I have considered telling the father, but I'm terrified he will want to keep it or be angry or just react somehow negatively. I don't know. What do you think? Any advice on the whole situation?
