Thread: Can't get over my abortion

Bless your heart.

I have had two abortions, and I hope my words help.

I went through the same procedure you described. I had to take a pill, and then administer several more into me, and went through hours of the most horrible torture I have ever been through...cramping, screaming, bleeding, puking, and having to be on the toilet all pretty much at the same time for at least two hours.

I feel that I have made the right decision for both. I am more careful now than I used to be, because I feel like I have had one too many abortions, and if I get pregnant again, I don't think I could abort.

I know you may have felt violated by the nurse, but don't let that factor bring you down about the abortion. Seperate how you feel about how they treated you at the doctors from what you think is right about your decision. You and your husband will have children when you are both good and ready, whether it be adoption or conceive like before. It was your choice, and your husbands as well. Ask him how he feels, tell him what happened. You may feel like you are burdening, but if he is your husband, he will listen, and that's all that you may really need, a listening ear.

Abortions can be tramatic, but you know you did it for the best reasons at the time given. Let yourself grieve also. Give yourself time to heal. And when it is time you'll be able to breathe easy again.
