I had a SUPER LATE abortion.

2012 United States

trapped selfish relieved confident happy guilty afraid

It gave me so many mixed emotions! I was happy to follow through but felt selfish(dad to be wanted to keep it) and maybe a little guilty.. or definitely judged.

in a clinic or hospital with surgery

Took 2 days, day 1 they do ultrasound and all that then they gave me medicine to help induce me and soften the cervix. Had milf cramps that evening. Went back day 2 and they gave me a large shot near my belly button, sat for a few hours, went under anesthesia, woke up in a different room with several other women, groggy.. and waited to be checked and released. But I was 20weeks along.. so yeah

financial issues problems with my relationship my personal reasons for not wanting a child mental health reasons

I mainly was not ready to give up no responsibilities and couldn't afford a kid.

Ar jūsų abortų neteisėtumas paveikė jūsų jausmus?

Being legal didnt make the choice any easier.
