Abortion ....

How is everything? I don’t know how long ago this was posted but I definitely feel you. I’m 18 and want a child very badly but chose abortion because I’m not mentally healthy or in the financial position to do what I wish I could have done (have the kid). Talking to a free counsellor at planned parenthood might help. And please don’t feel guilty! I remember my friend who’s had an abortion and a child once told me “The ‘guilt’ of an abortion will subside with time but the regret of bringing a child into the world and not being able to care for it is a whole other type of guilt.”

Also the abortion pill is less invasive and you can do it at home but it also lasts longer and you might see the expelled tissue and have cramping. The procedural abortion is about 5 minutes and you can choose sedation or not, but you’ll be at the clinic and might also have some cramping. Both options have their pros and cons and it is completely up to you and what you’re comfortable with!!!

Definitely look into your options and get educated on how both options work, then you'll be able to make a decision that feels most comfortable.
