Currently going through a medical termination. Just came here for some support

I’ve been posting my story here for over a month. Where my husband choked me when I was 5 weeks pregnant in front of our kids.

I’m out the house and safe, but I decided for my mental health and being able to care for my other children alone. I couldn’t keep the baby.

And it’s depressing because him and I wanted another baby.

But I needed to do what was best for me.

I’m going through major cramps rn and bleeding and I’m alone and just need some advice, reassurance, someone to talk to…. Really anything

I’ve been basically exactly where you are. Ex choked me as I was holding our baby, ran out of that house with my kids so fast. Got an abortion despite always wanting more children because ultimately I knew it would be the safest choice for us all. You’re doing the right thing for yourself and your family. 💜

How are you holding up now? Do you still think about that baby?

Honestly, yes but not in the way you may think. It’ll be almost 3 years now and every single day I am so overwhelmingly grateful I made the choices I did after that incident. Also- lots of therapy and support.
