Hey sweetie ;) nice to talk to you, I really care about this situation becuase I lived something like this in my life and I know that it's not easy, but life is always worthy and running away isn't the solution because what goes around, comes around. Even if sometime I feel lonely and depressed, the best is to look inside myself and feel comfortable, I just need myself and my son to support all in the hard time. So just think positive!!! take care!

Lacey,

I've seen women do what you're doing a hundred times....and I'm scared for you! You're still undecided, but yet you haven't yet cancelled your appointment. I'm begging you to cancel your appointment and give yourself more time to think! If you just keep going, thinking the decision will "come to you", you'll find yourself in a whirlwind tomorrow and the ability to think will be gone.

I don't know how many women have told me they went to their appointments thinking they could still back out once they were there. But that when they were there, they felt like they couldn't back out...almost felt forced to go through with it. I think the phrase I hear most is "I wanted to jump off that table and run out of there so bad!"

If you don't feel sure about wanting to abort, don't do it! Even feeling sure it's the right thing doesn't mean you won't regret it later. But, feeling this uncertain about it and going through with it anyway is a sure recipe for disaster. Please give yourself more time to think this over.

Don't think that you can still decide at the clinic. They are used to women wanting to change their mind at the last minute. They are trained to make sure she doesn't feel like she can change her mind.

This decision shouldn't be rushed. If you decide later that you want to abort, the clinic will be more than happy to oblige. But if you choose later that you don't want to abort, it will be too late. An abortion can't be reversed. Please give yourself more time.

You are in my prayers. I hope you feel them.

Take care,

Shellie

Circumstances can always change and be changed but abortion is permanent. Sometimes the best gifts and joys in life are the unexpected ones. Take good care of yourself. With Kindness, Heather
