i am 19 yrs old and i just had my abortion about a month ago. i found out i was pregnant after my period was late by 7 days and i decided to take a home pregnancy test which was positive.

i cried the whole day knowing right there that this was a disaster for my family as my dad has diabetes and my parent’s are not happily married i knew that this was going to break them apart and my dad was going to be very ill or he was going to die. i did tell my boyfriend or 5 yrs but we are on and off and he was very happy and i couldn’t tell him how i really feel as he thought it was a good thing i decided to talk to my aunt who asked me what i wanted to do and at that time i wasn’t sure coz i was always against abortion and she said all the things that was gonna go wrong if i keep the baby and i saw that this was the only option i had before deciding on abortion i used to wish that i miscarry it and it will all go away well i went to a local clinic were they gave me a date to come do it well i had no feelings about what i was going and was relieved after deciding that i was gonna abort as i am still young and have dreams to achieve well the day of the procedure came and i went there well i was kind of happy that i was doing this and of course i didn’t tell my boyfriend the truth i told him i miscarried which he believed and unfortunately at the clinic they did not clean me well which resulted in an incomplete abortion which i released a month after the procedure as i started bleeding heavily with clots and i was taken to the hospital were they cleaned me again. sometimes i do regret my decision but i know there is no going back and i have to live with it and times i have troubles sleeping. as i keep on thinking that i shouldn’t have done it, i know it was a right decision.
