"I was feeling awful but I know I have no other choice."

This story was submitted to us.

I had an abortion about 6 or 7 years ago. I had my first child in 2011.

I'm currently pregnant. Due to financial, physical and mental issues, I've decided to get an abortion next week.

I was looking up things and I felt bad, but I came across these stories on this site and they are helping me.

I have no support to raise this kid.

I'm 13 weeks.
