I know that you're in a really difficult situation at the moment and that you've made your mind up, but i'd just like to offer you a bit of advice from my experience.

I was in a situation where I truly felt that I couldn't go through with a pregnancy and that abortion would be the only way out - so I have an idea about how you feel.

However, with the benefit of hindsight, once all the shock and confusion had gone, I felt the complete opposite. Sometimes, what feels like the right thing to do, or what feels like the only realistic option, isn't right at all - it's just your body's way of dealing with a traumatic experience. It's sort of natural to look for a way out of a difficult situation, to keep life as you know it, and that's what abortion gives you.

I know that you don't want to hear this right now as you've made your mind up, but there is a tiny life inside of you. It might be very small, but it has all the makings in it to determine if it's a boy or a girl, whether it'll have blue eyes or brown, fair haired or dark, and one day it will be a fully grown person. As you know, the sleepless nights don't last forever, extra financial support is available and as time goes by, things somehow fall into place. I'm not trying to say it'll be easy - I have kids of my own, I know what it's like, but it is worth it.

I don't want to preach about how you may or may not feel, but in hard situations, it's important to look at what's really happening - it can be very easy to purely focus on the decision that you've made and grey out the reality that's going on around and inside of you.

I know I've rambled on, but I just wanted to give you my experience with the hope that it might help you.

All the best

Hi there,

I hope peeps can help me. I had an abortion when I was 18 due to complications.. I am pregnant now about 6 weeks tops. I have opted for the same proceedure as when I was 4 months with the other child. I have been using contraception me and my partner he just seems to be mega fertile and so do i!

I have opted for the surgical method as it is all done in one day and its 100% effective, should I have done this with me being so early??

I just dont trust pills as they are the reason I am pregnant in the first place! I have caught on two different pills once when I was 18 and now when im 22....

I take my pill as discribed and never miss one!

HELP ME!

thanks!

Hi I cant comment on either method of abortion, as I am fundamentally pro life, all I can say is that you are increasing your risk of breast cancer by having had such a late term abortion so young, and now compounding it by having a second abortion. I am not talking about breast cancer when you are 60, more like when you are in your 30s.

If you carry this pregnancy to term, you will be doing your breasts a great favour, weird as it sounds, even better if you breast feed your child afterwards.

(I am assuming you have never actually given birth, if you have then you can pretty much ignore everything I just said)

If you want more info on this please go to www.abortionbreastcancer.com

Dont mean to scare you, but it is better to know this before rather than afterwards, at least you can make an informed decision.

Take care
Siobhan
