I had an abortion 6 months ago.My boyfriend and I were not ready to have a baby. The process failed at first so I had to take a second dose of the misoprotol pills at 2mnths into the pregnancy. I had the first dose at around 3weeks into my pregnancy but I had taken them wrongly so didn't work at first. It wasn't easy and has never been easy but I feel I made the right choice for my life.

Am guilty of not giving that creature a chance to live. I feel relieved because at least I won't have to deal with the responsibilities that come in handy. I feel trapped because if I get out of my current relationship I don't think I will ever talk about my abortion to my next guy. That maybe I would get myself in that same situation with another guy.
Horrifying... I bled for 2weeks and experienced a lot of pain. I wouldn't want to go back there again.
Did the illegality of your abortion affect your feelings?
Yes because the society has this negative view towards those of us who've had abortions. I don't even think I'll ever tell my parents about it. The society's perception makes me guilty and sad but I just have to move on with my life.
How did other people react to your abortion?
My friends were supportive though some acted shocked but were really good at hiding it.
