I got married at 20 and had 3 children by 25. I gave birth to my daughter while I was in Nursing School .  After she was born, I went on birth control but it failed.  My husband and I were under extreme stress. I was a new nurse, working long hours and exhausted from breastfeeding . We were just getting on our feet. Then, I found out I was pregnant. I had three kids under 5.  My marriage and my mental health were at stake.  It was a decision my husband and I made together.

After my abortion, he had a vasectomy.  Our marriage strengthened and we were able to provide for the family we chose to bring into this world.  I do not regret my decision.  I am grateful that I had that choice.
