Teen Abortion Issues

I was only 13 when I found out I was pregnant. I didn’t have a boyfriend, and wasn’t interested in anyone. I never thought anything like this would happen to me. I was at a party (with friends who were older than me) and was raped under the influence. After being late for my period, my mom took me to the doctor. I was told I was pregnant, and my life hasn’t been the same since. I wasn’t sure who the baby’s father was, and I was extremely depressed from everything. I was so afraid, and I decided to get an abortion.

I regret everything about my decision. In a way, I knew I couldn’t take care of a child on my own, and I wouldn’t want to put my baby through that. Some days though, I think I can. I wish I would’ve kept my baby. To everyone who gets pregnant & their first thought is abortion - DON’T do it. It’s not right to take an innocent life. And you don’t want to ruin yours!

It was the begining of January when I found out. When I told my boyfriend we were both in shock. We thought it would be a girl, so we named her Hope Marie. We knew we couldn’t keep her, but we wanted to.

It’s now February 9, and I had the abortion yesterday. I didn’t want to go, but my boyfriend told me to go, that I had to. I already regret it. I feel empty and wish I never  chose to do it.

I was 16 when I was pregnant. I was dating a guy who was 18, and we were so in “love.” We had things even to move in together and start a life. I decided on abortion for the sake of me and my boyfriend’s future, and after it everything changed. He was not supportive and broke up with me two weeks later, after being together for a year, through text.

It has been well over 5 months, and I think about it every day. In some ways I regret it, but I always think about how I would hate to be forced to deal with that lying cheating ex for the rest of my child’s life. Honestly, I don’t know how I feel and not sure I ever will. But it hurts more than I could ever imagine in either way I would have chosen.

I was 14 years old when I got pregnant. I had been with my boyfriend who is 17 years old for about 8 months at the time. I wanted to keep it, and I knew it would be hard. I only live with my dad, and he didn’t give me any say.

Ever since then I’ve been an emotional wreck. I can’t be around babies anymore. I know I have a little angel watching over me now. I just wish he/she was here with me. I love you, little one, and I’ll never forget you ever.

I am 25 now, but when I was 13 years old I found out I was pregnant by my 20 year old boyfriend. I lived with my Grandmother and my sister at the time, and my grandmother told me that I would have to go to an un-wed mothers home if I did not have an abortion and that I would not see my sister again until she was 18. I was forced into having an abortion. I did not want to be parted from what little family I had left.

To this day I feel very sad and hurt when I think about the fact that I should have a beautiful child right now. I want more than anything in the world to be a Mommy now, but I’m afraid that because of the abortion I am unable to get pregnant.

About a year ago I found out I was pregnant, and I looked for the easy way out and had an abortion. I have come to realize that was not the best thing for me at all.  I often have dreams about it and cry behind all this because I know my baby should have been here with me.

I did the abortion for the wrong reasons, and I regret it every day. I am feeling lost right now because I am pregnant and I don’t know if one out of two men is the father. I am praying it comes out for the best and I keep my family together. (DEAR GOD) please help me and give me the strength to go through with this. I feel like a terrible mother right now.  I have two beautiful kids that I’m thankful for.

I was 16 when I found out I was pregnant. At the time I was not with the father of the baby, so when I told him he was scared. My parents and the father of the baby told me to get an abortion. I didn’t want to. I was about 2 months pregnant when I got the abortion.

Now it has been almost a year and it has been the worst mistake of my life. I wish I could go back and take it all back. I think about it everyday and what my life could be like if I had the baby. So just really think about it before you do it. Don’t do it just because everyone else whats you to .

My story? This sounds like it should be a fairytale, or a story about how prince charming swept me off my feet. However, It was the moment that changed my life when I walked into the office that had given me a pregnancy test and its coming up posistive that changed my life. The nurse, probably not knowing that I was just 16, said, “Congratulations on they baby you are now mothering.” Me, I was in shock and disbelief and began to cry…so hard that I felt as if the knot in my throat was becoming bigger and bigger.

My mom, knowing exactly what was wrong when she saw my bloodshot, swollen eyes asked me if I was pregnant. She told me to get information on an abortion. My first paycheck contributed to giving up my unborn child.

It’s been 6 months now, and me and my boyfriend still cry over “our” decision. I can’t believe what I did. Many think it’s a “weight off their shoulders,” but really the weight from your shoulders moves right on to your heart. I still haven’t forgiven myself.

To my first precious child - I’m deeply saddened by the fact that I as your mother made the worst decision of my life. You carry on with me wherever I go, and there isnt one day that goes by that I don’t think about you. I love you, and hope you forgive me…I’ll see you in heaven. I promise you. I am so sorry.

My boyfriend and I have been together for four years. He is the most incredible guy I have ever met. I found out I was pregnant the first week of July. For weeks and weeks before I took a test, I convinced myself that all my symptoms had a different reason other then pregnancy. I kept telling myself that I was okay and that my missing period was because of stress, my breasts were sore because my period was on its way, and I was moody because of everything that had gone on in my life. I chose to get an abortion a week later. I swore to myself that I would never do that.

I wanted to keep my baby, and I regret my decision everyday. I think about my unborn baby every day. I wonder what she would have looked like. I hate myself for the choice I made. I swore I would never be one of those girls who had to sit in that cold, sterile room.

I’ll always remember my follow-up visit when the doctor took a picture with an ultrasound. My womb was empty.

I feel like a part of me died with my baby. I don’t think I will ever forgive myself. It’s almost been 7 months, and the pain is still as fresh as it was the day I swallowed those pills.

I’m so sorry baby girl.

I’m 17 and I had my abortion at 16 on Jan 16 & 17 (it took two days to complete). I was 4 months and was ready to keep it, until the dad started to change his thoughts on keeping it. I fought with my mother and him because they wanted me to kill my babies! I was carrying twins. He talked to me for hours and hours til I finally gave in and told him I’m doing this for him.

The pain was so hurtfull. I remember everything that happen those two mornings. My heart got a scar that day and the next day. He broke up with me, and I found out 2 days later he was cheating on me for about 2 months but was scared to say anything. Don’t get an abortion just because he says if you love me you won’t do this to us. They are just thinking of themselves not our feelings.

I’m about to be 18 and I still have nightmares of my babies yelling for help.
