What was your reason for having an abortion? How do you feel

If you have had an abortion(s), what was your reason/reasons for having it? If you did have an abotion(s), how did you feel afterwards? Did you regret it?

I wasn't ready to be a parent. I don't regret it.

I am still thinking about an abortion, but I don't know if I could handle the feelings afterwards.

I was raped. I felt a lot of relief after and I've never regretted it, and it's been almost 8 years.

I think that is pretty normal. I was scared before mine and felt like the scum of the earth. But even now I know it was the best decision for me and for the family that I have now. It sucks to have to go through one, but in the end I did what was "right" for me.

I wasn't ready, homeless with no job.

I was molested by a family member. I regret having an abortion because there was a life growing inside me, but I don't regret actually having the abortion..if you know what I mean. It's been almost 9 years and I still think about it everyday of my life.

I was raped in front of my kids. then stalked and threatened. to this day he still follows me. I don't regret it because he can't hurt my baby now, but its something I will never heal from or forgive myself for.

i did it for a couple reasons. Not being with the person who i was pregnant with, and us having a really smurffy relationship at that point(Hes now DH and DD's daddy)I was really young and stupid. i wanted to giver my kid a better life then the one i was living. I was a major potthead at the time and all i wanted to spend my money on was weed. I feel like a really stupid person now for it though. I really regret it. It smurfed me up mentally. I started cutting myself up everytime i thought of it, what she/he'd have looked like, if it was a she or a he, if they're in a better place now. i got mine done late. 13 weeks 5 days. i remember everything about it. the white room, the doctors, how i slowly drifted off. how i cried and had second thoughts while waiting outside getting preped for surgery. The only good thing that came of it is that me and DH got to talk, he was there with me the whole time. God im crying now

I didnt have one but I was planning on it if I would have been pregnant. I have two kids, I don't want more. I didnt get a period for 2 months, and really thought I was pregnant, had I been this was our decision. I now have my tubes tied.

I had an abortion because i was 18 working two jobs to help support my mom and brother since my mom couldn't do it. The guy i was with at the time while i loved him we were breaking up every few weeks and i knew we wouldn't last. Neither of its were stable enough to have a child and at the time i found out we were actually broken up but we got back together not long after.

There are times i regret it mainly because we did eve up breaking up for good and he committed suicide a few years later. I always think about how it would be nice to have a piece of him here since he didn't have any kids. I felt bad after but knew it was the best decision for me at the time. He/ she's farther would've been schizophrenic ( which i found out much later after we broke up) and then dead. We wouldn't have been together, also at that time we wouldn't have had the means to provide a decent life for a baby.

In the end i met my amazing husband and we have two gorgeous boys and are very happy. However that what if still lingers every once in awhile.

Me too. I was unsure if my rapest or my SO was the father. and either way, I wasn't ready to be a parent at 18.
It will have been 4 years ago in February and I have absolutely no regrets.


OP best of luck with your decision.

I was forced into it by my ex and my parents. I was 15. I regret it every day of my life.

I have children already but my husband and I divorced, and now we are considering remarriage. I am so confused.

I'm sorry about you being raped.
