Hi, my name is lexi, I am 17, I recently
had an abortion at 20 weeks and I regret
it. I debated about it for a long time,
and when I finally decided, I was pretty
far along. I know that so many of you are
against abortion, but I just wanted you
all to hear from a person’s point of view
who have had one. I had a surgical
abortion, I was in the hospital for 2 days
and am still recovering. If you have any
questions please feel free to ask!

I am 20 years old and considering abortion
along with other things. I have made a
thread in please help just under yours so
you can read my situation.
I just wondered, what was the procedure
all about?
Was there any problems?
How did you feel before and after?
Why did you decide to have an abortion?
Thanks so much.

Was there any problems? Not anything
major, I just had a lot of bleeding and
cramps.
How did you feel before and after? To be
honest I felt terrible, I felt hollow and
I miss my little girl kicking.
Why did you decide to have an abortion?
Because no one would help me, my parents
threatened to kick me out and I would
never be welcomed back, my boyfriend said
he would leave me, and I didn’t have
anyone and I haven’t worked a day in my
life, I didn’t know where to go.
I personally would never have one again,
good luck in making the decision that is
best for you.

Aww thats terrible that you were forced
into it. At least I can say that my
boyfriend is standing by me. I don't know
about my parents though.
So you knew it was a girl?
How are you coping now? Did you go and
speak to someone about it?
Did you not even have the choice of
adoption? Would you have considered it?
Did you get put to sleep through the
procedure?
And if you had the choice of support from
your boyfriend and family, but didn't have
money or the means to have a baby would
you still try?
One other question that is a bit off the
abortion question, when you first fell
pregnant, did you have funny pains in your
stomach at all? Imean is it normall?
Sorry for all these questions but I have
been waiting to talk to someone whos
either been through it or is going through
it as I have to make a decision

So you knew it was a girl? Yes I found
out
how are you coping now? I am not doing
very well, I feel terrible for that I did
did you go and speak to someone about it?
No I haven’t
did you not even have the choice of
adoption? No not really would you have
considered it? My sister had to give up
her daughter at 6 weeks old and it tore
her apart, I don’t think I could have done
that
did you get put to sleep through the
procedure? Yes
and if you had the choice of support from
your boyfriend and family, but didn't have
money or the means to have a baby would
you still try? No I didn’t have any
support at all
one other question that is a bit off the
abortion question, when you first fell
pregnant, did you have funny pains in your
stomach at all? Imean is it normall?
Yes, they were kinda crampy like

Omg Im So Sry! Posted: 03-26-04 10:53am
Im really sry u were forced into it! Ur
parents wouldnt even let u give it up for
adoption or something so that it could
atleast have a chance in this world! Wow
I dont think I would amagin doin that but
in some ways u made the right desision and
vampd20 I think that if ur family is
willing to still let u be part of the
family u should go through with the
pregnancy to let the lil person inside of
u have a chance to live! Once again im
really sry I used to think of abortion as
homicide but I can understand in some
cases! Be careful next time! Good luck
both of u!

I had an abortion 3 months ago and I still
haven't had a period. All preg tests say
negative. Is this normal. I also moved
to a new form of birth control. Could
this be the culprit?

Anytime you have a procedure to remove
something that was not intended for
removal it is cause for severe infection
or physical complications. With some of
the abortion procedures they use tools to
scrap the inner lining of your uterus and
that can cause rips and tears. A lot of
those cause massive amounts of pain if not
repaired. See your regular gyn and get
things checked out ok?
