Last summer i had my abortion. I was 2 months and 8 days. Im crying as i type this because i feel so empty and so hurt. I remember going to the clinic and there were a whole bunch of protesters outside of it. They started yelling at me and telling me not to make a stupid choice and that i shouldnt do that to my baby its murder. They were yelling at my mom "i cant wait to be a grandmother why are u making her do this!" What kind of people are u! i just closed my eyes and walked into the clinic. I wanted to start balling because it was true...deep inside i knew i was doing the wrong thing. So i sat down with my mom and i waited 4 about a 1/2 hour then they switched me into a differnt room idk why but it was a smaller waiting room where there were less women. I started crying softly to my mom telling her i wanted to go it wasnt right i needed to leave that sickning palce but my mom shook her head and told me"youre this far ur doing it okay?" nicely though. When i got into the actual room the nurses had me take off my pants and sit on the damn table they did it on. I remeber waiting 4 the doctor and jsut being so cold in the room and looking around it. i started to cry softly and told myself.." i cantt do this..." i stood up but then right as i almost had the COURAGE to walk out the doctor came in. and i sat back down. I couldnt be awake for it so they put me to sleep. I woke up in a daze and i swear on everything i asked the nurse at LEAST 7 times "im not pregnant anymore?"
to this day im trying to get pregnant because counsiling nothing will help but another pregnancy. im only 16.. but i have no other goals in my life that to have another baby. it may not be the right decition money wise in the far future but ill manage im willing to except EVERY responsibility. I loved my baby even tho i killed it...i remember crying the WHOLE night b4 my abortion..laying on my back holding my stomach.. and reapeating myself im sorry im sorry im sorry im sorry forgive me...

Callie, I am so sorry to hear what you have had to endure at such a young age. You are just a baby yourself. I want to encourage you, that is if I read the post right, I want to encourag you to NOT have another child right now. Another child is not going to heal you, it is a replacement baby and the reasoning for a replacement baby will do more harm then good.
You said counseling didn't help? What kind of counseling have you had, post abortive recovery group? or private counseling.
I am here if you want to talk, I will do what I can to help you

Dear Callie,

I am so sorry for the pain you are feeling right now. I read your post and just cried. I wish I could just hug you and tell you everything will be OK. Please go to the website listed above - I think you will find the path to some healing there. You do need to grieve and heal from this experience, wanting antoher baby is part of the grief your already feeling - but it won't really fill the void.

Forgive yourself -

Love,
Kris

Callie,

I am so sorry! You really do need to talk to some people who really love and care about you and can help you through this dark time. We are here and we care. And there are local crisis pregnancy agencies that can help you with counseling and other programs. You might want also to go on a retreat.

I'm make Kris's link clickable for you. They're a good site.

What you are feeling now that you are describing is the need to have a replacement baby. The problem with this is that another baby won't replace the one you aborted, and the reasons why you had the abortion would still be there. Your mother would still probably pressure you. So it's not wise to do this. Instead, work on healing your emotions, so that when the time comes for motherhood, you will be ready.

Please come back and post, and let us talk to you.

Hugs,

Pat
