My appointment was two days before Mother’s Day. I had hoped not be in this position again but it happened. My partner of 17 years and I slipped up once before about 15 years ago and again a little over 6 weeks ago. I had a medical abortion at home the first time. This time, I opted for a surgical abortion in a clinic full of kind folks. We weren’t ready then, both young and still figuring things out. I’m not ready now.  I’m back in uni and about a year away from finishing my degree. I do not want to have a child. I am so close to my goal. My partner supports me as they did before. We’ll get through this too. #nottherighttime
