Hi, I am new to this site but wanted to share my thoughts and hear from everyone else.

Although I am not a mum yet nor am I pregnant, like many girls, I have a pregnancy story. In December (Christmas Eve to be exact), I had an abortion. I was always against abortion until it was ME…I was shocked, confused, and 16 at the time and wasn’t ready to become a mother. I wanted my baby to have everything and I felt as if I couldn’t possibly do this! My boyfriend now of 3 years agreed that this was the best decision and has been my support and strength through this time. There isn’t a day that passes when I don’t think about what could have been. I wouldn’t say I regret our decision. However, what could have been upsets me and makes me think. It is now 2 years on and me and my boyfriend are still strong. I am 19 in a couple of weeks and am about to start trying for a baby. There is nothing more that I want and I feel much more ready. I consider my age and feel that this feeling will not go away the older I get. I want a baby more than anything. Having been pregnant and had no baby to show for it hurts more than anything and after the crying and upset and guilt I have felt, I am now strong again. I’m currently studying my second year at college and will finish in June, and can then focus on being the best mum-to-be I can be. I have no doubts it’s one of the hardest challenges in the world but it’s all I want. I have a fantastic family and the same goes for my boyfriend. He is with me 100 percent and is fully committed to what’s to come. Xmas is coming up and I hope that it will be a happy one-

No more hurt or remembering the past, the beginning of my beautiful bump or next year having my angel with me x
