“Ultimately we chose to end it because we haven’t even really lived together. We decided that we couldn’t raise a child together when we’re still learning how to cope and live with one another. Had I chosen to keep it, I would be pregnant during a huge move, where I’d have to begin to learn his native language, find a job, and to be frank- just adjust to an entirely new life. That alone is a challenge. Having a kid in the mix of that just didn’t feel right to us.

So four days ago I had my abortion. It was the hardest thing that I have ever had to do. Right before my procedure I had my hand on my stomach, crying, saying my goodbyes to this baby that I could feel in me everyday. I had grown quite used to feeling the cramps, and having to pee, and taking my prenatals because I had already grown to love it. …Living at home has been a bit difficult. Half of my family knows and the other half does not. I want to heal and to tell them all what happened and to get the help that I need- but the half that does know, wants me to keep that to myself. I get it, there is a lot to process, but I’m saddened because I feel like I need to talk about it.
The distance between my husband and I and the secrets I’m holding are the most painful parts of this whole process.

I had my abortion four days ago, and I do not regret my decision. I chose to keep a picture of my ultrasound because I felt comfort in knowing that I decided to give my family (husband and I) a better life for when we are ready to have a baby. And I feel so happy to know that I CAN have kids.” 💙 Check our stories for a link to the full story. #shoutyourabortion #reproductivehealth #healthcare #family #1in4
