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.
Remember that our stories are ours to tell. We’d love to hear your story too!
