Abortion Saturday

[jennagardner2]

I am going to be having a Medical Abortion on Saturday and I am very scared.  There is no doubt in my mind that I will be having this done I guess I just need some words of advice and support.  I was on birth control and we used a condom and here I am pregnant.  I am not financially nor emotionally ready to bring a baby into this world and the only

No one but you knows what is best in your circumstances. Anyone who judges you for making the best decision *for yourself* is an imbecile at best.

All known forms of birth control, including sterilization, have failure rates. (Sadly, condoms have one of the highest failure rates when used alone).

Hold your head up high and ignore the nay-sayers. Oftentimes the most vocal anti-choicers are the first ones who would rush to terminate an unwanted pregnancy. These "do as I say, not as I do" types are beneath your notice.

I have been there, right down to the contraception failure -- and I made the difficult decision to terminate the pregnancy. I am sure it was a hard decision for you to make, and I believe that you know best your own circumstances.

You are doing what is best for *you*; no one else matters.

Thank you so much for your advice. I am happy to see that there is people who did the same thing I am going to do. I am scared out of my mind because my period makes me sick to my stomach everytime I have it so having a period like abnormal bleeding is nothing I am excited about. But I would rather do this than surgery. I will repost after I have my abortion updates to let everyone know how I am doing. Thanks again for the advice. I would have never known what to have before I take the last pills.

No advice, but good luck to you - I'm sure you'll be fine. Don't let anyone make you feel bad - you know what's right for you.

i am having a medical abortion on friday, and i have the same story. we've been together over a year, i've been on birth control since highschool [i am now a junior in college] and we used condoms every time anyway-because i was paranoid. i know how you feel completely. i would offer advice, but i think we are in the same boat here. i'm just as scared, but i can't tell why. i have no qualms with abortion, my family is being completely supportive, and my boyfriend has been next to me every step of the way, and yet, i feel sad and afraid and alone. i don't know if it's because of the situation, or pregnancy hormones, but i know how you feel.

if you need more support, come comment on my journal and i'll give you my e-mail address or my telephone number. i'm sure you would appreciate someone to talk to about this as much as i would, and i think our situations are too similar to miss a chance to talk.

contact me if you'd like, i would love it if you would.

thank you, and my thoughts and prayers are with you.
