comfortable peaceful trapped resolved relieved confident happy as usual

I just wanted them out. There was so much going on in my life, there was no way I was going to give it up.

in a clinic or hospital with surgery

Horrible. Since the abortion was done in a makeshift OR, and with the wrong anesthetics, I ended up trying to scratch my face off and vomiting all over the clinic. The second abortion, in 2015, was done ligally, in a hospital, and it was the complete opposite. No pain, no disconfort. At all. The staff and the doctors reasured me.

my personal reasons for not wanting a child

I didn't want those pregnencies. No more, no less. Never thought I needed anymore reasons. My choice.

Did the illegality of your abortion affect your feelings?

No.

How did other people react to your abortion?

I had lots of support at the time, my friends that know about it support me too.
