Dearest SYA community,

I wanted to thank you guys for doing such an amazing job. Every night I come onto your website to read some stories that will allow me to heal and overcome this tremendous guilt that I have been carrying around for almost two years. You have saved me a lot of money on therapy!

While I am on your website I try to find stories that are not about women whose contraception have failed but of women who come from stable relationships with children and yet have abortions.

I was on the pill for over 10 years and after giving birth to my two beautiful children I decided to give my body a break. I wish my husband was a bit more responsible, I wish I didn’t miscalculate my ovulation day and had taken the morning after pill. I wish I had the courage, support and sound mental health to carry on with my third pregnancy.

So many wishes but I know I can’t change anything except my attitude. Reading stories by other mothers help so thank you so much for creating this platform where we can share our stories.
