This story was submitted to us.
I am 23 years old, a single mother of a nearly 2 year old daughter, but before I had my daughter I had an abortion.
I primarily had my daughter because I could not fathom the idea of having a second abortion, and I don't in any way regret having her, but I felt like I was trapped when I was pregnant for that second time.
Having that abortion at age 18 was the right choice but at the same time it felt wrong and I felt humiliated and I just could not get the courage on having a second abortion.
So here I am, age 23, and as of right now I am currently 7 weeks pregnant. My THIRD pregnancy, and I am BEYOND FREAKED about having a SECOND child.
For the last couple weeks I have been telling myself that I should get an abortion, but I was again telling myself that one abortion was one too many and that I should just go ahead with the pregnancy.
But it was just a couple hours ago that I found this website, and now I see that having a second abortion is okay. I plan on making an appointment for my second abortion first thing tomorrow morning.
These stories gave me the courage on doing what I know is the best choice.
