To every pregnant teen Posted: 07-25-03 20:23pm
I was not what you would call the "type of
girl that would get pregnant," if there is
one. I was engaged, loved my partner, and
was monogamous. However, shortly after we
broke up, I found out that I was pregnant.
I opted to have an abortion, as I had
just filed for bankruptcy and had nothing
for myself, much less a baby. I was also
ashamed to tell my parents. I learned my
lesson the hard way. Exactly 4 weeks
after I went in for my abortion, I had to
call 911 because I was hemorraghing. In
the emergency room, I was told that I was
still pregnant with a healthy fetus. At
that point, I told my family, who
pressured me to have another abortion. I
refused, thinking that everything happens
for a reason. However, four weeks after
my initial hospital visit, I was in the
emergency room again for hemmorraghing,
where I was told that my fetus was healthy
but I was not healthy enough to carry it.
Since then I have had so many problems
with my reproductive system I have spent
over $8,000 after insurance. My point in
telling you this is not that you shouldn't
get an abortion, as I believe it is every
women's right, but that you really need to
do some research on who you go to. If you
have to drive two hours to go some place
that you know is reputable, do it. It's
better than what I have gone through.

ohh my gosh I dont think I have once sat
down here and read a long story like that.
Your story got me involved though...Good
luck in the future.
that is why I chose to keep my child, plus
I personally don't believe in any of
that!!
