I met whom I thought was the “love of my life” at 13. He was 17. I got pregnant and my mom found out and took me to get an abortion I was very young and scared but knew deep down I wanted that baby. For weeks straight after the abortion I heard a baby cry. Time went on I was still with the “love of my life”. I got pregnant again at 15 and was scared my mom would do the same thing and I made the choice to have an abortion myself. At 17 I became pregnant and we were very happy and decided to keep the baby. Weeks later I got very sick. I couldn’t keep food nor water down. It was constant throwing up all days for two weeks straight. I went to a small clinic and they couldn’t help me. I didn’t go to a hospital since I didn’t have insurance. We finally made the choice to get another abortion. That was the last one I had. I feel like the worst person in the world not 1, not 2 but 3 babies. My heart has been broken since. I feel like I can’t have kids due to those abortions. I’m 25 now. I haven’t tried to get pregnant but I feel deep down like I don’t deserve to be a mother. Thank you for all your stories makes me feel somewhat better but not fully because of the number of abortions.
Remember that our stories are ours to tell. We’d love to hear your story too!
