I Regret My Abortion
After much discussion between my SO and I, it was decided to move forward with a surgical abortion. Since my boyfriend would be the sole source of income throughout the postpartum recovery, he made the call as to whether or not we could afford the baby and he said he would do whatever he had to in order to provide for us, but that it would be very hard and that we aren't ready and he would never see the baby which would upset him. It's been 8 days since I had the procedure and I have never felt so lost in my life. I feel an immense amount of regret and I don't know if I will ever feel like myself again. I stopped having all symptoms of pregnancy today (as I was told would happen), and I can literally feel my heart breaking in my chest. Please, don't ever do something unless you are 100% sure. The whole time I was waiting, I was telling myself, "This doesn't feel right. This doesn't feel real. I don't think I can do this." And before I could bring myself to walk out, I was called back, and 2 minutes later, my baby was gone. I feel like I will spend the rest of my life grieving. Please, no hateful comments. I know everyone has their opinions about the situation, but please do not make unkind remarks. I need words of encouragement now more than ever.
