Have you had an abortion? Are you glad you did it? How do you feel afterwards? How was the procedure?

Question

I'm thinking about it and want to know from people who have been there.

I think I'm about 2 1/2 to 3 months along

I do already have a 2 1/2 yr old that i am raising by myself.

Thank you Mrs Beisner!!! I'll forever remember your response. I needed it! I think my mind is made up to have the baby now. I've been battling with this for too long. TIme to face the music I guess. God bless you!!!

Answer 1

hun, i would seriously think about this before you do it. seriously. many women have to take counseling after they have this done, because at the time their living condition, or the father, or they have other plans for their life. well so does this baby. do you know what they do during an abortion, you would be shocked!! they either insert a cutting tool into your uterus and chop your son/daughter into pieces then pull out body parts, or they will deliver your son or daughter partially and stick a scissors into the back of the skull then open them to finish him/her off. that would be where the arms and legs of the baby go limp. then they deliver the head and then they throw it into a waste basket. if they use a vacuum though that is painful to most women, thats where they dialate your cervix and shove a tube up there and it inflates your uterus and thrusts down really hard like contractions, in the mean time limbs are torn from your childs body because of the force and then finally they deliver the what is left. mean time you'll be screaming and crying because of the pain but remember they can't stop and leave your childs body parts in there. afterwards the guilt sets in and you truly realize what you have done, no going back, and experience that you will have to remember for the rest of you life, every day you will stop to think what your son or daughter would have looked like and wish that you would of gave them a chance like your own mother did for you. this is your big chance now to prove to yourself that you were mature and responsible enough to get pregnant, and that you will be responsible enough to raise this baby or at least give it to families who try for years, or have miscarriage after miscarriage trying to experience what you are going through. they would give anything to have what you have. i think you need to look up abortion on the internet and see for yourself what they do to babies. it will make you sick to see it. i was where you were at, so don't think i say this without experience, i already had a daughter and being a single mom was hard and the thought of having another i didnt think i could do it. my boyfriend at the time went with me to the clinic paid my 100 bucks up front cost and i looked in that waiting room and i see young 13 yr old girl sitting there with her mother. and it hit me that i was in the wrong place, that i would regret this, now i am married to that man and i have a beautiful little 2 1/2 old girl. and i stop sometimes and think that at one point in my life i wasn't gonna give her the chance to live. i sometimes feel ashamed that i went to the clinic, even though i didn't get it done. since then i had 2 more children and not once did i even give myself an option of chosing . so before you do this, think about what could be and the joy you could have of having a child, something that no one can take away from you, something that is part of you, will look like you and bring you a lifetime of happiness. please take this seriously. i would even adopt this child from you if you cant raise it. they are a gift and you only get one chance to make the right decision about this. i wish you the best of luck and i really do hope that you take this to deep consideration for you baby's sake.

Answer 2

Why would you want to get an abortion??? Do you know that the heart to the child you are carrying is beating. Therefore you in my opinion are killing a human. If you didnt want this child you shouldnt have had sex. I personally have never had an abortion it makes me sick, BUT I have a friend who has and she is emotionally forever scarred. She still cries to this day about it and its been 4 years since. And on top of that, she can no longer have children because of the abortion. She has too much scar tissue. If you truely do not want this baby, give it up for adoption there are too many woman/couples out there that want children SOO bad and they cant. Babies are such joy, I just can not explain how much you will regret this, because you have to remember this isnt just a book you didnt like, this is your flesh and blood. This is a human being! Let he/she have a chance to live!!!

Answer 3

Answer 4

Many years ago i had 2 abortions. It wasn't very painful but it depends on how far along you are;2months along is more risky and harder to live with because you'll think about the stage of development of the baby. To this day, I have moments when I think about it and regret my decision. There's always an excuse to justify having an abortion but living with that excuse/reason is difficult. Please confide in someone, don't do it alone if you decide to;I didn't tell anyone therefore I had no one to talk to/confide in the times it was very difficult to live with. I wouldn't recommend and abortion but I do understand when you're in a situation that having a baby is the last thing you want to do

Answer 5

Hi, Sarah. I am so glad that your mind is made up to let your baby live. At two and a half to three months, your baby already looks like an little infant, just smaller! He or she can stretch, smile, frown, yawn, get the hiccups, suck his or her thumb, curl his or her toes, make a fist, and much more! You can see beautiful photos of unborn children at http://www.justthefacts.org

Answer 6

i was about to have an abortion, i didn't want to have it b/c i wasn't ready. All i wanted to do is do what i wanted to do, but i guess that it wasn't that easy. So the time was here and thought about it i didn't want to do it, so i decided to get her. I had alot of help from everyone around me, and i thank god for that. Please think about it you just cant kill something that's yours, think of it as your treasure. Now i have my baby and i feel so happy that i have her with me, and even if i was alone i would be happy. kids change your life trust all of these people telling you that you shouldn't do it. It can change your life in many ways like depression, and some people have gone crazy. Please don't do it trust us who moms who know, in the end you will decide what your going to do. Remember that no one can judge you, and you will do whats best....
good luck

Answer 7

Everyone reacts differently. I believe they put you under anesthesia during it, But many women have problems conceiving later in life. Plus abortion is unbelievably linked to depression in 90% of abortion cases by a year after it happens.

Answer 8

i would avoid it if at all possible. the emotional trauma and regret that most women feel is awful. most need counseling. is adoption possible? you could even choose the parents. if you're not sure about the abortion, then maybe the real question is whether or not you want to keep your baby to raise yourself. talk to your family or close friends. they can support you. raising a child alone is difficult. try looking at this site. it'll give you info about abortion vs adoption.

Answer 9

I had an abortion when i was 16, im 28 now and i totally regret my decision. i was so dumb, i would have 2 kids now, now im trying for #2 or really 3 and its not happening. i'm glad God forgave me when i asked Him to.

Answer 10

You don't want to get one if ou don't need to. I had mine years ago and it was for medcal reasons only that I had to have it
I still think of it and remember it like it just happened...It didn't take long ....I was in and out of there pretty fast...I had to drink orange juice after and stay so they could make sure I was alright physically..
