I’ve been crying all night & just cannot stop. I had my abortion on November 6th & I was 9 weeks & 5 days along. I felt like I had this weird connection to my baby & thought maybe I was crazy. I chose to have an abortion because everyday of being pregnant was like world war 3 with the baby’s father. He wanted the baby more than anything in the world.. but all he did was pick fights with me & get into screaming matches with me. I knew I’d end up losing the baby from all of the constant fighting everyday. I loved my baby so much already & I was so protective already.. but at some point I just decided I couldn’t put my baby through a life like that, but I also couldn’t handle not being in my baby’s life. I wish I would’ve died on the table during the procedure.. I really do & it’s horrible to say, but I can’t help it. I’m pro-choice as well, & I’m not religious at all, so leaning towards “God” won’t help me one bit. As horrible as I’ve been feeling everyday & definitely right now, I’m at least glad to know that I’m not crazy about feeling like some part of me is gone & I’ll never get it back.. Thank you for sharing your story with us. I hope that one day we can move on from this, not forget it, but just move forward & have the babies that we are missing so dearly.

I am so sorry for your situation…I wish I knew you, I wish I was your friend 4 days ago to give you the hope and strength you needed to say NO! I have never been in your situation but I am a mother, so I can empathize with you in what you said in bonding with your baby even at such early days. My prayers for you in your hour of sorrow and for your partner.

I’m sure there are many women, like you, who abort when what they really want is to keep their babies and who are then left to mourn their loss. You are not alone in this.
There is legal support for women who have been failed in this way.
I hope you find peace and comfort.
