You will. It is a hard choice but you're stronger than you think. It will get better

When you had it done, you did so for a reason you felt was validated. At the time, it made sense for you and your life. Everyone's opinions and views change as they get older and maybe you knew when you chose to do it that it would be the right thing and that your life would have a better outcome in the end.

Things like this, can't be undone, so don't let it go to vain. Take that opportunity you gave yourself and make the most of it. Learn from it, learn more about yourself.

*Hugs*

I'm sorry you're hurting. You did what you felt was right at the time. Hopefully, this feeling shall pass.

Hugs. It is okay. You had it done for a reason, you are a strong woman.

Quoting Kimber-Lily:" I got an abortion done June 2nd 2011. And it still hurts emotionally, I thought about it when the due ... [snip!] ... to be home in an hour. I'm such a mess. FML FML FML. I am so incredibly sorry and I don't think I can ever forgive myself."

it may not be much comfort to you because i'm sure others will say it and you won't believe it, but....

it gets better.

i know. from experience. same thing happened to me 2 years ago , and at first i was oddly okay with it all. then, one day at work a week or so later, i just started bawling in the freezer. then, i started thinking about what color eyes it would have had and who it would have looked like, etc.... i still get sad around the due date and the date i had it done. idk.... but it's gotten better. i don't cry as much, but i still cry. i still wonder. i still feel bad. i'm pregnant again now, and i'm worried i'm going to be sad in the coming months.

but i have to remember why i made the choice i did when i did. and i have to remember that i can't take it back.

idk if this helps. but i hope so. if you need anything, you can PM me. i'm about to go out now, but i will be back later and kidless. so, if you need to talk, i'll be here. i hope you find your peace.

A lot of women who get abortions go through the same thing.   Not that it makes you feel any better, but the sadness is probably a part of the process for most. I hope you can come to peace with your decision, I'm sure it was the best one you could have possibly made. <3

I am sorry you feel that way.If it makes you feel any better I felt the same way. I promise you won't feel so bad over it eventually, it will take time though. I would say it took me like 4 years to be able to talk about it without crying and not be such a emotional wreck over it. I hope you don't hurt to much, it is a very hard thing to move on from. I did the same as you as thinking of things about it. I still catch myself occasionally getting upset but not as bad as I use to. I hope you feel better.

I have read that if you ask the baby for forgiveness and feel it in your heart, it may help you to not feel so bad. If it was for the right reasons then you had to do it. I hope you can find peace in your life. Maybe even write a letter of your feelings as if you were writing it to the baby. It might help to have your SO write something too. Hugs and sorry you feel this way.
