Q: Post Abortion Syndrome

Hello all,

i wanted to say thanks to all those who look at my post. I was writing because tuesday I will be getting an abortion and I wanted to talk to someone that has already done this to see how they have coped with the post abortion syndrome. I am urrently 15wks into my pregnancy.

The reason I am getting an abortion is because me and my husband don't have a way to support it. We already have 1 child and my husband just started working again after being laid-off for 9 months. I don't know how I will feel after this possibly releived but also sad, so that is my reason for getting on here to get advice or talk to someone and become a friend and get a helping hand besides the one that I know my husband will give me. No one besides my husband and 1 friend knows about what I am going to do.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Once again thank you.

I terminated a pregnancy at 13 weeks because of severe health problems of the baby so while my reasons were different I have some understanding. This will be hard & you will never forget. I wish you had posted sooner I would have suggested the option of adopting the baby out, as you sound like you don't want to do this. You should get some counselling afterwards. Pm me if you want to chat.

Erica,

what is right for one person is not necessarily right for another & unless you have actually lived ccruz_03's life you can not know what you would do in her shoes any more than she can know what she'd do in yours.

I had a a almost a year to date. I was well lets say kinda far along, but I was 18 and had no way to support it. I was one always against it, but when it came and I was in the situation it seemed like a logicall one. I had and still have pass I was very depressed and pushed everyone away for quite a while. I eventually worked through it on my own felt shame I didn't want to talk to anyone about it. I do think if you are going to go through with it make sure you are 100 % sure it's what you want not anyone else influancing you. It wasn't all my decision and I regreted it and still do. Get help before and after talk to someone I wish I had. Best of luck and if you need to talk i'm here and can help answer any questions. Wink
