Teen Abortion Issues

I got pregant when I was 16. I had a boyfriend who didn’t treat me right, and it seemed he only used me for sex. I always denied this thought in my head and made myself believe he loved me. If he told me so, then it had to be true. He had eventually talked me into not using a condom once, claiming he couldn’t feel anything otherwise. Our relationship and lives went on as normal, until it was nearing Christmastime and I hadn’t had my period yet. By the time Christmas eve came around I was worried so much about being pregnant that I couldn’t even eat dinner without bring sick, a problem I hadn’t had yet. Soon I was feeling worse and worse until on New Years Day when I got a call from my boyfriend. He told me that he had broken down and told his mother and that if I didn’t tell mine she would. I was angry and had to endure hours of my mom’s anger. The next day we waited in a walk-in clinic for three hours, only to find the test positive and have them send me home. In the next two weeks while I was making my desicion, my mom told my entire extended family what was going on. They were all very angry and tried to make me keep the baby, while my boyfriend’s family was saying the opposite. I was so scared, and I didn’t know what to do. I cared about the baby, but I also made the foolish mistake of caring about my boyfriend too much. He told me if I kept the baby he would leave me. I didn’t want the baby to have a father like that (my father hardly sees me) and I wanted him to have the choice to walk away.

I had the abortion. Many people were happy, but others did not talk to me for a long time. My boyfriend broke up with me less than a month after the abortion for another girl but was still playing around with my feelings. Every day I miss that baby, and some days I wonder what desicion I would have made if I had the choice to do it again. It makes me sad.

I was 15 when I got pregnant, and the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the test was that I had to get past the crying and deal with it. I was with my boyfriend (17), who I’ve been with for 11 months now; and he actually wanted to keep it. I was almost 3 months pregnant when we told our parents. When we told our parents all together they wanted us to get an abortion, but all we said was we weren’t going to punish another life for our mistakes.

After a week of thinking we decided to get the abortion because of money issues, so we set an appointment and we waited in the clinic for at least 8 hours before I actually got the abortion. It hurts, and all I can feel is the baby coming right out…not a good feeling at all! Afterwards I threw up a couple times from starvation.

Ever since then I can’t live life the same. I’m depressed, and I just try to hide it. My boyfriend and I look at our baby’s ultrasound everyday, and just cry because we didn’t want to give up out first baby. I hate what I did, and I’m never going to get over it.

I was 17 and pregnant. I was with my boyfriend for nine months, and I love him to death and he loved me. I did not want to have an abortion, and my boyfriend did not want it either, but my mom said it was for my own good, that I was too young. I cried so much, and so did my boyfriend. I was really scared. Every time I see a girl pregnant I feel so bad.

One thing that helped me was that my boyfriend was there for me all the time, and we are still togather. As soon as I make eighteen we’re going to have a baby. I just want to say to those girls…make your own decision…do what your heart says. I just want to say sorry to my baby…I love you…mama loves you. 

I was 16 when I got pregnant. It was during winter break when I found out I was pregnant. I had noticed I missed my period and told my boyfriend at that time to buy me a pregnacy test. That’s when he started changing with me. He was far away…well that’s how I felt him. He hardly ever called me after that. I took a home pregnancy test, and it came out positive. I was so scared! I told my sister who at that time had her baby. She got pregnant at 18. She told me to take the second test days later. It came out positive again. That’s when she told me to go to the doctor. She took me. My sister was more with me dealing with the pregnancy than my actual boyfriend. I was already about to be 2 months pregnant. I thought hard about what to do, and they gave me time to think about it. My sister told me I was too young for a kid and since the guy didn’t care, she told me to think about being a single parent. I didn’t want to diasapoint my parents and family over a guy who didn’t care about me or my baby. Thats when I decided that abortion was the way to go for me.

I had the abortion 3 days before my birthday. I was so scared, but I knew it was better so I waited there. Then everything happened so fast. Next thing I noticed I was waking up. I felt empty. I dressed, and as I walked out into my friend’s car I burst into tears.

I was depressed for quite awhile. Now my baby would be 2 months. How I wish she would be here next to me to feel. I feel so alone…no boyfriend and no baby! Think twice before you get an abortion.

When I was 14 I found out I was pregnant. I was so happy and scared at the same time. I told my boyfriend at the time, and he was happy for both of us. I didn’t know how to tell anyone. About two months later my boyfriend told the school counselor. They called me into the office and the counselor, my boyfriend, and I sat down and talked about what we were going to do. I told them that I was going to tell my mom that night, but she called my mom at work anyway. When she got there I told her that I was pregnant. She called my dad at his work and he came. They took me home from school that day, telling me that I was worthless and that I was getting an abortion. I cried out telling them I wanted to keep my baby. They didn’t want to hear what I had to say.

About 2 weeks later my mom and dad made an appointment for me. When my mom and I went they told me that I just turned 16 weeks. My mom left the room, and I asked the lady that was doing my ultrasound what I was having. She told me that she doesn’t do it often but she told me I was having a little girl.

A week later I had to go back for the “operation.” I was 17 weeks along. I will never forget October 17, 2007. To this day I cry myself to sleep, and I have started cutting again, drinking, and drugs. If anyone is thinking about getting an abortion think of what you are doing before you make up your mind. And for the girls that are getting pressured into getting an abortion IT IS YOUR BODY, YOUR BABY, YOUR DECISION!!!!

Abortion was the most saddest thing i have ever done in my life, i regret it so much and wish i could take it back everyday

A week before Mothers Day I found out I was pregnant and was really excited. I couldn’t wait to go to the doctor and see my baby. My boyfriend and I were going to get married. Well a couple days before Mothers Day 09 my boyfriend and I were getting our marriage license, and my mom calls him asking what we were going to do about the baby. I told her I’m keeping it. She yelled at me telling me to get home and get all my stuff out of the house, that I’m no longer welcome. I had no home; my child’s father and I kept fighting; I had no car to get to college; I was homeless with a one-year-old and pregnant. My mom didn’t talk to me for a whole month and let me be homeless. I felt bad for my one-year- old son. He was cold and hungry, and I felt selfish.

My mother kept pushing me to get this abortion, and I can’t believe I went through with it. I regret it with everything I have. I think about it all the time. Every day when I see people walk by I think that could be me. I always think right now I would be finding out the sex of MY baby, and I get so sad and cry. I feel like I should be in jail for doing something so bad. My baby had a heartbeat, and I still let all this happen,

Now just 5 months later I’m pregnant again, and I have no idea what I’m going to do. I’m afraid of my parents’ reaction, but I love my babies. No matter what I’ll always put them first before anything.

I Love My Son Mikhi, My Angel Baby and My Expecting Baby

I had just turned 16 when I got pregnant. I was with the the boyfriend at the time for 3 months. He was CRAZY! I found out I was pregnant about a week after we broke up. Right then it hit me. What am I going to do? I always told myself I will keep it. Well I told my mom and dad, and they were very unhappy. My mom took me to the doctor, and she pushed me to get an abortion. So I got it because I didn’t want her to be mad at me for keeping it.

It’s been almost a year now since all this has happend. There is not a day that goes by that I don’t think about what could have been and how I should have never done it. I wonder if it would have been a boy or girl and what it would have looked like. Most of the time I feel like I should get pregnant again to relieve the pain. I cry all the time. Still I can’t stop myself from being around teenage mothers because I wish I was one, and holding a baby makes me feel like home. I WILL NEVER FORGET THE POSTER I WAS LOOKING AT THE WHOLE TIME I WAS GETTING THE ABORTION. It’s a horrible thing.

I’m 16 and June 27th 2009 was the day my whole life changed. I was 7 weeks pregnant and forced to get an abortion. My parents told me I was too young to have a baby and that everyone would stare at me and call me a slut. I had only told my close friends about it, and obviously they weren’t true friends because everyone around here knows. Not only am I getting called a slut…but a baby killer. I’m dreading going back to school. I don’t want people to whisper about me when I walk by.

 If I could go back I would have kept it. It might have been hard to deal with, but I wouldn’t hurt so bad inside. I cry everyday of my life, wishing I could watch my baby grow, wishing I could have just had some support. The shows on tv and the pregnant people around me make it so much harder. I love my baby always and forever, even if it isn’t here with me.

I am 20 years old. I was 19 when I got pregnant. I carried my child for three months. I felt pushed into abortion because of my family and the father of my child. My situation was pretty complicated and hard to explain, but regardless I was a coward and decided to do what my ex-boyfriend wanted.

It’s getting close to the year mark, and I’m still not over it. This is something I will never get over. There isn’t a day where I don’t think about my baby. My mother had me when she was that age. Why couldn’t I have handled it? I took my baby’s life. I am forever changed. I will never allow that to happen again. I’m so very sorry and always will be. Today I would of had a beautiful three and a half month old baby.

I was 15 when I got pregnant. The day after my 16th birthday I found out that I was pregnant. I told my boyfriend right away. He kinda knew it before I did. We wanted to keep our baby. I told my mom the next day. Before we talked about me getting pregnant and she said she would never make me get an abortion. But when I told her she told me that if I didn’t I would have nowhere to live and she would get my boyfriend locked up since he is older then me.

So I caved in and I got it. It’s now 10 days after my abortion. I know its really early. I really wish that I didn’t do it. I wanted my baby. Don’t let anyone force you to get rid of your child. It is your body, your baby and most of all your choice.
