Early Symptoms |
Sitting there just thinking to myself, alright I'm really going to do
this. I walked into the room when I was called and the lady did an
ultrasound and told me that I was 18 weeks pregnant. And... it was too
late to have an abortion there. She then told me to sit with a
counselor and the counselor encouraged me to go to another clinic that
preformed abortions after 18 weeks because being 16 and pregnant would
be hard. They also told me that I should tell an adult like my mother but only
tell her after I have the procedure done. I remember just sitting there
like woah...
I thought to myself, "I would NEVER do that. Ever. I'm only 5 weeks along. I'm taking the pill, just like you would take medicine. There is no heartbeat. This is NOT an abortion." I guess when you are in shock, and you WANT to justify what you are doing, you will tell yourself all kinds of things. I can only look back at that thought, and that canister and suction device sitting there...
Dear Becky -- my name is Cherish and when I was sixteen I found out that my life
would forever be changed, I had been dating my boyfriend for about a
year when we found out that I was pregnant. We actually knew already.
But the news was told to me when I went in to get an abortion, yes an
abortion. I was about 10 weeks and just knew that my mom would kill me
if she found out that I was pregnant.
Life is wearing a bra that is three years old
with holes in it because you had to spend all your extra money buying
your child's shoes. Life is meetings with the teacher about your
child's behavior problems. Life is watching the look in a man's eye
fade from interest to disappointment or annoyance when they find out
you're a single mom. Life is trying to study for an exam with two
screaming kids in the background. Life is having people stare at you
because your 6 year old is having a huge tantrum and they don't
understand that he has Autism, they all just think you are a terrible
parent.
My 16th birthday had come and I decided to write my mom a letter. I
told her how much I already loved this child and how I was ready to
give up the life of partying, going out, everything. I told her I was
still going to go to school and that I will feel so empty without this
baby. But she didn't listen.
I ended up telling my parents the day before my high school graduation
cause I was playing on my dad's softball team and he kept yelling at me
week after week to slide and I wouldn't do it. He didn't know why so he
just kept saying why are you slacking your a better ball player than
that. And finally I couldn't do it anymore and I went home after the
softball game and cleaned up and then I told my mom since my dad was
not home yet. My mom just got really mad and started saying "I knew it,
I knew" and crying. She kept asking "how could you do this after all
the conversations we had about having sex and babies...
