Someone I know found out last week that they were 24 weeks pregnant and they are adamant that they want it terminated.
They are having to borrow money to pay to fly to another country to have the abortion as they are not performed in this country. They just want the situation to go away, they don’t want to deal with it. They never thought they would be pregnant and she just can’t cope with the idea of being pregnant. They see the abortion as a quick fix. They don’t want to be parents, but think that adopting the child out will leave a big gap in their life, but I think that the abortion will leave a much bigger gap, one that will be forever there. I don’t think they realise the magnitude of what they are doing. I fear that not only an innocent life will be lost but their lives will be changed forever and not for the better. They have blinkers on. I think she needs to speak to someone who has been through it. She just says if she needs counseling, she will get it. I think that counselling will help manage those feelings but won’t get rid of them!! She is making a rushed decision as there is only a couple of weeks left before it will be too late to have the abortion. I fear she is making the worst mistake of her life and everyone around them sees it. I don’t know many people that have had abortions but the ones I do have all suffered horribly and that was within the first 3 months of pregnancy, this one is so much farther along.
Is there anything that you can do in this situation to stop someone making the biggest mistake of their life????? Does anyone have any words of wisdom????
OK, I’ve lost two babies… And the last time, I haven’t seen a doctor… Mainly because I didn’t know how to tell my parents, and I didn’t want them to find out (that way if you read my blog you’ll understand)… Well recently, after I go to the bathroom and whip, there is brown on it? And I don’t know what’s wrong and I don’t know what to do, or have anyone to help me… I’ve lied to my boyfriend. I said I went to the doctor’s and well I didn’t…
I need some advice. I’m really freaked out!! Cause it happened a while back for like two weeks and went away for sometime. Well now, it’s back! And it’s been going on for weeks!! I’m really scared! Please help me.
Hi, I am 18 years old and I have been dealing with a lot of pain inside of me for the past 4 years now.
When I was in the 8th grade, one of my guy friends introduced me to one of his friends at the beginning of the school year. The guy and I hit it off and began to talk on the phone all the time. At the time, I was 12 years old and he was 15. One day, he asked me to be his girlfriend and I said yes. He used to talk about sex all the time, but we never went through with it until…
It was the summer before I was going to the 9th grade and I decided to give in to all his peer pressure and lose my virginity to him. I was 13 years old, not knowing what I was getting myself into. We had sex 3 times that summer and surprisingly, the 3rd time was a charm. When he came, he told me he came inside of me and that the condom had failed. I did not know what to think. A month later, my period did not come.
I told my boyfriend and he was speechless. Every time I brought up anything about the baby, he didn’t want to hear it. So eventually I gave up on him being a part of my life and my child’s life.
I was 13, almost 14. Prego. Alone. Depressed.
I was stressed with how I was I going to tell my mom. I knew she was going to be completely distraught. I cried all the time, trying to get up enough courage to tell my mom, but I never could. The only people I had told was my best friend and my boyfriend.
Months and months went by. Labor Day, Halloween, My Birthday (11-10), Thanksgiving, and Christmas. It was almost time to go back to school and I was on the phone with my best friend and she just kept telling me I needed to tell my mom and stop hiding my pregnancy since I was so far along. As soon as I got off the phone with BFF, I called my mom at her job and told her I was pregnant. She was highly upset. She told me I couldn’t have my baby. I was devastated. She told me to get dressed and immediately took me to the doctor. He tested my urine and sure enough, I was pregnant. I got an ultrasound and he said I was 22 1/2 weeks prego. My mom was so stuck on me getting an abortion and that was the last thing I thought she would say. My mom gave me NO choice. Either she disowned or I get rid of it. I had no one to turn to. I felt like it wasn’t even my baby anymore. Since I was so far along, I had to drive to have an induced abortion in Atlanta, Georgia at 24 weeks.
Even though I was so young, I still wanted to have my baby and raise her. She was a part of me and my mom took that away from me. To this day, I live with this pain inside of me. Sometimes, I sit and cry because I know I would have been able to do everything possible for my child, but my mom took my chance away from me. I yearn for another child so much. I pray to God that he will bless me to give the gift of life.
Last month, my parents knew that I was 5 months pregnant. Funny, isn’t? I hid my pregnancy for a very long time and it’s not easy. Honestly, I’m so scared to death. I’m a fresh graduate and I don’t have a job. I don’t want to be a burden to my family so I considered abortion first…
Actually, it’s really a hard decision…
I still have many dreams. I’m just 21 years old and I want to help my parents. I can’t believe that I’ll be able to put myself in this kind of situation.
But then I’m afraid to abort my baby. I don’t think that I’ll be able to do that because I came from a very religious family.
I fall and soon I know things will be fine… I’ll be happy with my baby.
My boyfriend and I now think of marriage. He’s just 20 years old but he’s very responsible.
Actually, its funny coz I’m the one who’s confused whether to marry him or not. He really wants to marry me and he’s ready to be a father, he’s really mature.
My family is very supportive. They are excited for my child. Although I gave them a big disappointment, still they make me feel loved and BLESSED..
I guess I’ll be having a wonderful girl and I’ll shower her with so much love just like the way my family showed me love..
For all the girls out there who think of abortion, all I could say is “Everything happens for a reason”. The moment I found out that I’m pregnant, I was scared to death but I know “Everything happens for a reason”.
If you’ll kill your baby, you won’t find the reason..
God bless to all of us…
I have been having unprotected sex since May.
My period comes like clockwork every month on the 26th, but the last one was different. I was feeling sick, had sore breasts and nipples I took a test but it was negative. Then a day later, I started bleeding, that was June 23rd. 3 days early, which never happens. it was just light spotting and then I got a medium flow that was reddish brown and then got lighter but only lasted 3-4 days, which isn’t normal for me. Usually, my periods are extremely heavy and last 7-10 days but this one was different. On Tuesday, July 6th, I started spotting very little and then it stopped. I’ve also been nauseous and getting headaches. I took a test but it was negative again. I currently have a UTI and wondered if it is affecting my pregnancy test or could it be too early to tell?
If I am pregnant, I would only be about 4 weeks along… Any advice?
I am 16 years old. My boyfriend, he is 19 years old and we are expecting a baby.
My best friend is pregnant. She is due on Dec. 5th. So she has really been here for me, helping me out a lot. I dunno what I would do without her by my side… I haven’t told my parents or his parents yet. I think he is more excited about this baby than I am. He really wants a little girl. I am really scared. And I have no clue how to even tell my parents. I’m not really worried about his parents becuz they are going to support us no matter what. but I don’t even know how to tell my dad. My dad is going to be very disappointed.
What do I do?
