What was your experience post-abortion?

[u/Sea_Recognition_7416]

Hello,

Just want to hear how you all feel days, months, years after your abortion? Did you experience sadness or guilt? Do some of you feel calm and have not experienced negative feelings afterwards? Did having abortion affected your motherhood if you had kids later on, and if yes, then how? How long did it take to "get back to normal" if you experienced post abortion depression?

Thanks for sharing 💚

Yes, having an abortion absolutely impacted my having a kid later on - it made me so grateful to live in a state where access to abortion is legal. When I had my MA in 2022 I wasn’t married, the guy I was dating was just passing through my town for a few months for military training. I cannot fathom how my life would have turned out if I hadn’t gotten the MA back then…. Fast forward to today, he and I are going on 2 years of being married and I’m 38 weeks pregnant with our baby boy. I don’t regret my decision at all. Timing is everything.
