i found out i was pregnant on april 24, 2010. i was 21 at the time; i was so shocked thinking \u201coh it can\u2019t happen to me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
my boyfriend at the time and i had talked about kids but i didn\u2019t really think it would happen so soon. we had only been together for 5 months and in there we took a short break. when i found out i was pregnant we had only been back together almost 2 months. he is very against abortion and that is the reason we\u2019re not together anymore. well, that and he cheated on me our whole relationship. he was out of town when i took the test at my friend\u2019s house. i told him i was taking the test and it didn\u2019t even take the full 3 minutes for the test to turn positive. i let him know the results and he was so excited. he wanted a baby so bad. but he didn\u2019t have a job and hadn\u2019t had one the whole 5 months we were together. i was the only one working; he on the other hand was managing to live off of 120 some dollars of unemployment a week. we decided to tell my mom on april 25 and the first thing she said to me is \u201cyou know you can\u2019t afford a baby right now.\u201d i knew that for some reason he didn\u2019t think it was going to be a problem. i am completely against raising a baby with all state help. we went to a park and talked to my mom in her vehicle, she asked him what his thoughts were and all he could say is \u201ci\u2019m completely against abortion; i think it is disgusting and a bad thing to do.\u201d he ended up getting out of the vehicle and i talked to my mom some more and i cried a lot. but i knew that i couldn\u2019t raise a baby. i could hardly afford to pay for my own self. she told me that the choice is up to me, i can\u2019t let the fact he is completely against abortion change my decision. so i made the decision that was best for me and my life, even though it meant i was going to lose him completely.<\/p>\n
i called planned parenthood on that monday and made my appointment for may 4th. the day of the appointment came and my mom drove me there, as we pulled into the parking lot there was a lot of protesters there all i remember hearing is \u201cyou don\u2019t have to do this, there are other options\u201d all i thought to myself was \u201cno this is the option that is right for me.\u201d when we got into the clinic i filled out all of my paperwork and then waited. finally they called my name and i went and had my ultrasound, they did an internal one where they stick the thing inside of you because according to when i thought my last period was means i wouldn\u2019t be very far along. the lady asked me if i wanted to see the screen and also if i wanted to know if there was multiples and i answered yes to both. when i saw the screen and there\u00a0was barely even a little speck in there i knew it was all going to be okay. she said it was all mainly just a yolk sack and that i was 43 days pregnant. then they did some blood tests and sent me back to the waiting room. about 30 minutes later they called my name and took me into the room and a lady talked to me to make sure i knew what was going to happen (as if i didn\u2019t spend hours upon hours researching this) and that i wasn\u2019t being forced into having an abortion. she also told me all the instructions about the pill and pills i would be taking and gave me birth control to start. then the doctor came in and gave me the first pill, mifepristone. and he then gave\u00a0me a bottle with the 4 pills that i could take within 72 hours of taking the first pill. i also got a prescription for hydrocodone and got some ibuprofen to make the cramping hurt less.<\/p>\n
i decided to take the next 4 pills the next day at 12:30pm. the pills are misoprostol and you put 2 on each side of your mouth and let them dissolve over a 30 minute period. by 1:30 i was already cramping and started bleeding. it hurt really badly but with the pain medicine it was bearable. i bled a lot for the next 2 days, but then it started to slow down. i even got\u00a0to be a bridesmaid in my sister\u2019s wedding on may 8th. i don\u2019t regret my decision to have an abortion, even though it meant losing my boyfriend. i think that if i was far enough along that i couldn\u2019t have had a medication abortion that i wouldn\u2019t have had an abortion but knowing that i was just over a month pregnant i was okay with it. having the medication abortion is more like having a miscarriage, which might be why i\u2019m okay with it. i haven\u2019t cried about what if since i had the abortion and so many people from the town i live in are making this a huge deal calling me heartless and selfish but i know what is best for me. i don\u2019t regret having an abortion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
