I don't regret mine. I've had two. I also gave a baby up for adoption 8 years ago, and that was MUCH harder.

I think it was because when I found out I was pregnant the first time, every prolife person in my family told me that if i had an abortion I was killing a baby, I would live to regret it, etc. But I was terrified. I didn't want to have a baby by ANY means. I used to lie awake at night and punch myself in the stomach, crying. I hid the pregnancy as long as I could. I continued to drink and use drugs. I was in denial to some extent. I was also very alone being so far away from my family in college. It was the worst time of my life.

He was born healthy and beautiful (fortunately) and is doing very well still to this day with his adoptive parents. I don't regret any decisions that I have made in regards to each of my pregnancies. Of course, nobody in my family knows about the subsequent pregnancies. I knew better than to tell them until I had made my own mind up.

I will have a family when I'm ready and not a moment sooner. I'm glad that I have a choice.

i had my abortion on the 20th march and regret it every day. i cant stand to look at my fiance any more becasue of what hes put me thru. he forced me into it then on the way home told me he wanted it.
i wouldnt wish the feelings and the guilt n the pain im going thru upon my worst enemy. i desperately want my baby back, and it kills me everyday knowing that i let someone bully me into having my baby killed and that i wont get my child back. im not having a go at any of you that dont feel anything, but i dont understand how you dont feel any guilt for aborting your innocent child. i hate myself for what ive done, and the pain and the guilt will never ever go away.
if any one is thinking of having an abortion and they want it even a little bit think very hard, dont be pressured into it becasue it makes it a million times harder. x

Hi

I have recently had one. I feel like i am in a grieving process and am finding hard to move on. I do regret it and i dont if that makes sense. The circumstances werent right i didnt have the help at all and i would have been on my own. If i had a glimer of hope from anyone it might have changed my mind i dont know. I am a very sensitive person anyway. People suggested giving it up for adoption but i couldnt bring myself to do that especially when i already have an 8 year old child that would have been hard for him to understand.

whatever we feel we cant go back or do anything about it now. I think its natural to be sad with something like this and you will grieve but i think that thinking what if ..... will not make your life any easier. If you are struggling i do advise speaking to someone professional it will help believe me.
