Abortion Story :(
I'm now 34 weeks with my 2nd child and I can't wait til she's here. Her father and I are really ready to meet her. But lately I've been really down about my first child who I had an abortion with at 10 weeks. It really hurts me b/c the child's father who is the father of the one I'm pregnant with now also do not believe in abortions and he cried and begged for me not to have it but my mom on the other hand brain washed me and made me do it b/c she would put all these bad things in my head about having a child at 16 n that it would ruin my life so I listended to her which now I really wish I wouldn't have did it and I just can't get over it. Maybe I will feel better once my baby gets here in March. But until then I just wanna know have any of you ladies ever gone thru abortions? Can you all please give me some advice and help me deal with this.

I would think about how it wasn't a good time for you then. It wasn't good circumstances. And it would have been a struggle. the truth is, some kids suffer when born under the wrong circumstances. When parents aren't ready or things aren't right, kids do suffer. I know every child is a blessing but there are an awful lot of kids that go hungry, live in poverty, have parents that don't pay attention to them or use drugs, etc. and you wonder . . . is that okay? So, I'd focus on what was right about having the abortion. it wasn't good timing. As simple as that. And now you are having a child when it is. good luck
Sorry ladies for commenting soo late but I'm just getting off work. I just wanna thank you all for all the support and advice. This has really helped me a lot today and I greatly appreciate it.
Now I'm 21 and married and expecting my first in 7 weeks. I do regret it but asked for forgiveness I know I could have kept the baby but it wasn't the right time or person. I feel that everything really does happen for a reason
I understand how you feel. I had an abortion at 19 with at guy who was mentally and physically abusive. I was living 3000 miles away from my family and they had no idea how bad he was. When he put me in the hospital at 15 weeks I finally moved home and left him there. My family did push me towards abortion but I also had support to keep the baby
I completely feel the same way. I was 16 and had so many family members in my head about what my future would be like. The father of my child supported me either way. But we just started dating. I am now 22 weeks pregnant and I'm 19. I think about it all the time. (Idk your faith) but I asked for forgiveness. And once you ask you are forgiven. I wonder everyday what was it what it would've looked like and made many excuses on how I could've handled it. Of course if I could go back in time I would. But that isn't possible. But one thing I have realized after the decision is that I have been blessed with another chance to bear a child (with the same man as before) and there is nothing more heart warming and healing to know that you were given another opportunity to raise a child and make up for a mistake you made in the past. Everything happens for a reason.
I had my first child at 16 had an abortion at 19 because i was just starting my career and couldnt afford to take on another baby. I am almost 21 now pregnant with my second boy. You cant go back in time and fix your mistakes so dont beat yourself up about it. Your young and you will make many more mistakes in your life you just have to learn from them and give your baby the best life possible
I've never had an abortion, but I did have a miscarriage at 16 because I didn't know I was pregnant and drank so much on my sweet 16 that I got alcohol poisoning. I always blamed myself and was angry at myself, until one day I realized, that child never had to experience heart ache, or pain, or war, or any of the countless things we face in life. Now I look forward to the day we'll meet again. :)
And thank you also @Rosie you guys are really getting me teary eyed and I thank you for all the support. I just hope I can be forgiven and to get over the situation. Thank you all for the support.
Thank you and I also hope I can meet my baby one day as well. I regret it every single day and hopes for forgiveness too. I just really wish I wouldn't have did it. But I salute you for not getting it I wish I could have been as strong as you when I was 16. I'm now 19 n have a completely different outlook on life and I don't advise any to ever get an abortion its not a good feeling after the fact.
The same thing happen to me as it has to you .. I'm 31 weeks pregnant right now buy there are times I think of my other baby ... I was 15 when I was first pregnant but ..personally the o lay thing you can do it move on eventually you'll meet your first baby and hopefully forgive you .. But you have to learn to forgive yourself first and realize a new life is in your hands.. And look at the bright side ...
I would recommend seeing a counselor about it
I've never had an abortion, but I am 15 and pregnant and have had it pushed on me. One of my mom's friends had an abortion and she regrets it to this very day. She felt so guilty she got pregnant right away. Now she's much older and feels bad about it but she says she's asked for forgiveness and hopes to meet her baby one day. Everyone makes mistakes
