I got my abortion (It's even hard to type the word.) on December 26, 2006. The day after Christmas. I had a 3 day procedure since I was 20 weeks pregnant. I feel so horrible about being so far along and terminating it. One of the huge reasons I felt like I couldn't keep it was because my 30-year-old sister and her husband were desperately trying to conceive for two years and then here I was.. 19 years old knocked up and nowhere ready to have a baby. I just felt so guilty and horrible. I was in complete denial about being pregnant before and I didn't even find out until 19 weeks along. I don't understand how other girls haven't been in denial and tried to ignore it.

There's not a day that goes by that I don't think about it. My boyfriend was so loving and supportive, he's just amazing. I haven't had sex since the procedure and I don't want to have it for a really long time. My heart goes out to everyone who's been in this situation. <3

Dear Akay,

You really need to look up a Care Net center near you and call them about post-abortion counseling. It is FREE and very helpful in healing that wound.

Do not let this go on - or try to bury the emotions you are going through. I can tell from your post that the pain is deep and needs to be dealt with.

You need to mourn your loss and find healing in order to recover and move on and be healthy - it's critical for you and for your future.

Hugs, Kris
