I'll Always Miss You
I look back on that day and really think of how much of a fool I was. To think that I would just forget about it and move on with my life was just a dream. It is still and will always be there. I aborted my unborn child, and no one close to me knows.
I went to the clinic by myself. I drove the 45 minutes there and back. I walked past the protesters that walked up to my car to tell me I was a murderer. I walked the walk of shame opening the doors to my reality. The whole time not shedding a tear. Just staring at the other girls feeling worse for them then myself. I talked to a girl that was 15 weeks along. She was already showing. I was "lucky" because I was only 6 weeks.
I found out I was pregnant on a Monday and was in the clinic that Wednesday. I wanted to just get it over with. And that's what I did. I laid back on the bed and stared at the butterflies and flowers on the ceiling. Waiting for everything to just be over. The doctor commented on my not making any sounds and I just closed my eyes waiting to get off of the horrible table. I walked down the hallway to the recovery room where other girls were sobbing and doubled over in pain. I didn't want the juice or crackers that the nurses offered me. I just wanted to leave. She told me I could go after changing and I wanted to run out of there. As I was leaving that girl that I had talked to had her blanket up to her nose sobbing her heart out. As I walked past her I reached for her hand and squeezed it. We looked at each other with the look that we had made the biggest decision of our lives and it was never going to be the same again. And it never has been. I still think about all of those girls that were in the clinic with me that day. How are they dealing with it all now? Does it go away or stay with you forever? Do they wonder what life would be with our children? I know I do. I wonder if he/she would have looked like me or the father. I look in his eyes every morning and see our child. A child that I'll never meet. A child that I'll never hold. A child I'll never kiss. But it is a child that I will always love with all my heart and I wish I could bring you back to me. I'm sorry I was weak and selfish. I'll never forgive myself and will always miss you.

im going to show my baby what i can do, and even tho its not here with me i know it will love me and be proud of me. im going to show him/her i didn't just do this out of selfishness.
im currently 12 weeks pregnant. been with my bf for 2 years now, Loved him to pieces. I gave up everything for him, His my heart my soul, and my best friend. I was scared to tell him, as his a muslim, and not allowed children unless his married, so first thing he said was, get rid! Which was like somebody carvin my heart out with a knife. All i ever wanted was for a nice bf and children. Now his left me until i get rid of my baby. How can i get rid of my baby, havin red all these comments and stories about how you people feel afterwards .. Every night since he left, i cry my self to sleep, the pain is unbearable. Even had thoughts of, id kill myself 1st, so get what i want either way. You people are so much stronger than i will ever be. Wish i had the currage to be like some people on here.My heart pines for both of them, I just dont know which way to turn next.
Love Broken
I used to be a councilor for a pro-life group in Australia. I used to talk to the women and young girls going in to have an abortion. Please please know one thing - although the situation at present is difficult, and you feel that there is no-one to turn to, believe me, my experience from talking to many young women who have had an abortion is, it is far better to have these natural worries than having to cope with the pain, guilt and question-upon-question that burden the lives of those who have been through an abortion.
They have a saying in Australia, "there are far worse things to visit your home than the arrival of an unplanned child". You have a child who needs you - ending the life of your beautiful baby will not solve an immediate problem...it actually creates a life-long problem and one with more pain and regret that one could ever have imagined. You have a child and together you can take on the world and everything that it throws at you!
I hope that I have been of some help: here are some contacts:
www.lifecharity.org.uk - if you are in the UK
www.sistersoflife.org/contactus.html - if you are in the US
Please contact them - they will be able to provide you with everything and anything you need; whether just someone to talk to, or practical help i.e. help with accommodation etc
God bless
