Emotional toll of abortion
I found out I was expecting with my BF of 7 years on Feb 3,2018 (Saturday).
Feb 7,2018 (Wednesday) I went to PP for abortion pill but to my demise I was diagnosed as severely anemic so was unable to qualify for the pill.
Feb 9,2018 (Friday) I went in for surgical abortion (I was found to be approximately 6 weeks). The whole process took about 7 hours, 6 hours of waiting, 15 min procedure and 35 minutes of recovery... All of which was torturous.
This has not only impacted me but also my partner. I no longer feel comfortable talking about babies, pregnancies, or the future.
I know this was the right decision for myself, but I truly had no idea about the emotional toll it has on you.
I find myself feeling like a damaged version of my old self, my SO has lost his sex drive, which only adds to the strain in our relationship.
How do you move on past this?
