i found out i was pregnant in june 2018. i was dating someone i loved, but i had just finished my second degree and was prepping to study for a major exam that could make or break my career.

i am 26 years old and i’ve never really gone through life with any semblance of a long-term plan, but i always knew one day with certainty that i wanted to have children.

i wrote a note to my unborn child a few days after my abortion. for context, i thought i was 7 weeks pregnant when i had my first ultrasound but i was actually 19 weeks pregnant. i am 19 years old and in college.

hola ...
mi historia comenzó hace un tiempo con una persona que en ese momento quise mucho y pensé que podría llegar a ser la pareja de mi vida, sin embargo, cuando me embaracé simplemente se fue y no volví a saber de él.

i had a late term abortion at 27 weeks in august of 2018. i was pregnant with my much wanted third child and up until 25 weeks i was told my daughter was looking great. i was so relieved as i was 35 in in the "advanced maternal age" category. at 25 weeks i went to my doctor for a follow up sonogram to get a view of my baby's heart. that is when my life got turned upside down.

i've been pregnant twice. i always knew that i never wanted children. my family, mainly my parents, constantly emplored me to have children. they still ask when i'm going to have children. and even though i always say i don't want children, they persist.
