  • Uh... yeah it should be normal.

    At least on a psychological level. Whatever your beliefs on when life starts, abortions, having children, etc. etc. there are going to be psychological repercussions. From person to person they probably vary in severity, and a lot of it is probably going on at a subconscious level.

    This doesn't mean that you are (or should be) feeling guilty, per se, but even just a wistful sort of "what if" can make us feel a little down - for a number of reasons! I don't think you should worry too much about it, it's not abnormal and it doesn't mean you need to spend 6 hours thinking it over while looking out over a pristine lake and watching the sun rise. It's just a natural side effect when you process things like that.

    As for the medical side of things - if you feel that might be a contributing factor, or if you simply want to make sure, please consult a doctor. It could be pertinent to do so.

    • It's not abortion, so I'd imagine that women who take it feel psychologically about as bad as a man who wears a condom.
