i was 16. this was my very first abortion. i was with the father for almost 2 years but my relationship with him wasn’t stable. i took so many pregnancy tests and every one of them was positive and that’s when reality hit me like boarder. i was pregnant teen mom. just like my mother. i wasn’t ready for this baby at all. once i told the father he was going to be a father he blew it! he got so mad at me. i thought it was all my fault for telling him. he keep denying it, he didn’t want to believe me so i brought the pregnancy test to him and he still didn’t believe me. he told me i was sick or my periods were irregular so i believed him cause i was to scared to tell my parents the real truth. so then i made an appointment for the doctors and that’s when they told me was pregnant. i went to planned parenthood they told me i was 4 months and a couple weeks into my pregnancy. the staff was so sweet and very helpful to explain everything i didn’t understand. the doctor asked me if i would like a picture of my baby and i said yes. this was going to be the last time i was going to feel, hear, and see my baby ever again so i didn’t hesitate for the picture. the abortion was painless but the memories kill me every day. i’m not going to lie i didn’t want to do it but i know i wasn’t ready to be a teen mom, i was a baby myself and many people might say i made a the worst mistake of my life but i don’t think so cause i had the best memories with my baby for that time period we had each other for. i know what i did was best for my baby and i was young and i didn’t want my baby to grow up like i did. so don’t feel like you’re alone in this situation cause your not. you did what was best for you and your baby and you’re a strong women! not a lot of women would do what we had to do for our children.
