Toughest decision ever! Pregnant at 15
by dancer4life
Every women who has had an abortion, or knows of someone having an abortion, are truly the heroes of our time. They have been through a lot emotionally (and most likely physically) to make the right decision for their unborn child, and for themselves. My story is I was dating a guy that I didn’t know very well for about 2 months, and then I found out that I was pregnant. I was 15 at the time, and had 5 other brothers and sisters. There was no way that I could have a baby at such a young age or to bring it into my already crazy life. I knew that I couldn’t keep it, and adoption would be too painful for me. The only other option was abortion. I didn’t want to kill or harm my unborn child. Even though it wasn’t doing anything inside of me, I loved it so much. My boyfriend dumped me after I told him that I was pregnant, but he agreed to help me with getting an abortion. When I went into the office, everyone was super nice to me. I cried while filling out the papers, and the nurse came over and said that to not think of giving it up and failing as a mother, but more as a gift to God. My baby can now look down upon me, and know that I am it’s mommy, and can’t wait for the day that they can see me and hug me for the first time. She hugged me, and led me to the back room. They put me on anesthesia, and in a matter of minutes, it was all over. The doctor said that I was 8 weeks along. Afterward,I felt like I made a good decision, but still had regret in the back of my mind. I kept thinking, “Was it a boy or girl? What would I have named it? I wonder if it would have blond or brown hair?” To everyone out there, abortion isn’t always the easiest thing to go through, but sometimes it is the only answer that is available. Talk to someone about how you’re feeling. There are people out there that are there to help and want to talk to you. Trust me, you’ll be happy you did.
