i have had two abortions and don’t regret either one. the first time was when i was 19.

i was working and going to school part time. i had unprotected sex one time in mid december with a guy i went to high school with. i didn’t think about it again until one day in late february. my breasts hurt with every step i took. i thought that it meant my period was a day away, except my breasts hurt much more than they ever had before. i realized i had skipped my period in late december and january and hadn’t yet had my period in february. my periods were normally very regular, every 27 days. the next morning i went to a clinic that offered free pregnancy tests. almost im世界杯2022亚洲预选赛b组 tely the test showed what i already knew. the next week i had a friend drive me to the abortion clinic. the staff was kind and professional. i was asleep and i remember nothing from the procedure until i woke up in a room with 4-6 other girls, each with a sanitary napkin between our legs. i had mild bleeding for about 4 days and i don’t remember any cramping.

the next time was eight years later when i was married. we had a rocky and abusive relationship. sometimes he would shove me against a wall and then punch his fist through the wall inches from my head. everything was always my fault and we ended up not agreeing on many subjects. one day i became nauseous after making his morning coffee. later that evening i noticed how painful my breasts were. i knew my period was due the next day. i went to the store late that night and bought a test after he went to bed. my husband was thrilled when i told him and we got along pretty well for a few weeks. then his usual self showed up and, among other things, our ideas of how we would raise the child differed greatly. he saw nothing wrong with using a belt or a whip to punish children. i knew the child would never be safe around him and i couldn’t stay with him any longer. also my nausea and vomiting were constant. i wasn’t able to work. a friend helped me to the clinic where this time i was awake for the entire procedure. there was some mild discomfort when my cervix was given an injection and then the dilation rods were inserted. after that i felt nothing and again and my uterus was emptied. i again had mild bleeding for about 4 days after. still no regrets.
