I added a post a few weeks ago "17 and pregnant" and for some reason decided to go for an abortion; i now regret it.

To be honest im not sure why i did it because i knew that i didnt want to, i guess i went to some sort of autopilot...i went the doctors told them i was thinkin about abortion they had a cancelation at the hospital later on that day so i went had my scan then they booked me in for the abortion the monday and wednesday after. That week went too quick i didnt have time to think about it just wen along with it.

Now lookin back i kno i made a mistake, so what if i got disowned by my family, i would of been protectin my own. Im really good with babies and children, i now kno that i could have made it work with or without support. I kno it would have been hard but it would have all been worth it. Im upset all the time nd keep holdin my belly where my baby should be, but its not because i killed it.

I've posted this for 3 reasons:
1) To get help and support from people who kno how i feel
2) To get advice about my boyfriend..he says hes upset too but doesnt show it as he needs to be strong for me (as he says) i want him to know that even though im upset myself im still here for him...also hes scared that il blame him even though i've explained that it was me who took the tablets not him.
3) To make people think before they make the same mistake as i did. Its easy to make the wrong choice when you scared and short on time but make sure your sure you know what your doing before you do it.

I think most of us on here have felt the same, I know I did. Things are tough at the moment but it will get better. Its been nearly four months since I had mine done and its been the hardest time of my life. I still think about it every day but i'm not the emotional wreck I was. I think we should trust our instinct as we know what is right for ourself. It might help to talk to someone other than your boyfriend as you are both hurting at the moment. Dont blame yourself as you did what was best for you at that time. Things will be better in a few months. Take care.

I remember your post, I hoped you would`ve kepped the baby. However hun, what can I say? I know it`s a lost, and the emotional pain is unbearable. It`s been over a months now since I had my abortion, and the pain doesn`t seem to go. I don`t think it will ever go.I`m sorry you`re feeling tghis way. It`s a good idea seeing your GP and asking if you could start seeing a councelor, this really helps. All that`s left is for us to move on with our lives, we will have other babies.

I`m sorry you`re feeling this way
