I've never had one, but I'm a mother of an unplanned pregnancy. I can't imagine what it would be like if my child was taken from me, so I can't even begin to understand the regret of taking his life voluntarily.
On the other hand, I guess it would depend on your personal viewpoint, whether it's a baby or just a bunch of cells at this point. I know one person that had several abortions and it didn't bother her hardly at all. She became desensitized and it became a routine office visit. When you get an abortion, all you do is sign some papers, get drugged up a little, and lay on the table until the doctor is done. You recover from the sedatives and feel like you have a bad period for a few days. If you dissociate that from what the procedure actually IS (removing a baby from a mother) then you will mentally recover pretty well. Some would-be mothers regret it for the rest of their lives, and know they will one day have to answer for what they've done. It's all a matter of what kind of person you are and what your morals are. That's why it's such a debated topic. Note the names of the two groups...
Pro-LIFE...the continuation of the BABY's life until birth
Pro-CHOICE...the choice of the mother (notice the baby isn't even mentioned...again, another dissociation from what the actual procedure is)
In my opinion (which I have the right to give, but will spawn opposition from ProChoicers) is that there is no good reason for removing a baby from a mother unless the mother's life is in jeopardy, and even that is pushing it. I would gladly give my life to protect my children. Why would a new life be less important than an older one? God Bless the little ones, and the moms that have the strength to do what's right. Blessings

No I have not had one, and i do believe i would regret it. Now a lot of people have them, and they do not regretted them at all, i guess it would depend on the person, if they regretted it , and how long it may take to get over, if ever.

Remember that there are thousands maybe millions of loving, caring married couples that can not have children. These people would cherish the idea of adopting a baby. There are other options that could leave you feeling much better. I think that yes you would have feelings of regret and would probably always remember it. I have not had one and I never would.

My best female friend did it. I think she was depressed for a couple of months but a year after she got pregnant and decided to keep a child. She was OK at that time.
Take care of yourself! And think next time.
