  • It's normal to wonder how things could of turned out, it was a huge decision!

    But, try not to think about it too much because there's nothing you can do now but face the consequences of your actions. Thinking about it for too long will do you no good and will only take away the time you have left.

    So just try to focus on the advantages having the abortion has given you, and when your focusing on what could of been, if it gets too much then just try to imagine all of the disadvantages to parenthood, and realise that you have a lot of freedom; so use it!!

  • You are spending too much time wallowing in this. Get up, get out and get active, to take your mind off it. If you want, you could help a local single parent and this would make you realise why you weren't ready for a child at that time.

    Don't be too hard on yourself love, coz you can't change the past. Time will ease the pain but occupy your mind and body!

  • i had one about a year and a half ago. It sucks and it's not something I'll ever forget..but I rarely regret it. A child didn't fit into my life and the way I justify it to myself is that we used a condom (even thought it broke) and I took plan B the morning after. Of course neither worked but it makes me feel better that I wasn't just being an idiot. My life is pretty busy and I can't imagine it with a baby right now at all. There's no way. You just need to somehow make peace with your decision.

  • I also wanted to add. That this happens in different situations. Say you had a boyfriend back in highschool, and you thought he was perfect, and if you just hadn't screwed up, you could still be together. But you didn't end up together! That's life, same thing here, it's just a simple "What if?" Question.

  • Science offered you a solutuion and you took it. If you weren't ready at teh time, then theres nothign wrong with it. Maybe it's your body and mind telling you it's now time to have your baby?

  • I think the reason it's happening is because you're depressed. You start feeling bad about a lot of things when you're depressed--even small things. I think you should seek help for your depression, first and foremost.

  • I do not believe in abortion but I believe that everyone Has a right to choose, what you did is between you and God and no one else. Your reasons for the abortion were your own but don't think in the past prepare your future you obviously weren't ready for a baby and if you want one get
    Your life together :) best of luck

  • Its normal to wonder what could have been, but what were your reasons for getting the abortion in the first place? Think about that to decide whether or not you did the right thing, because you didn't give us enough information about the cirumstances for me to give you a more detailed answer right now

  • Thats what you get you killed the thing and thats its way of getting back at you. Your hormones have officially been fucked. You probably shouldn't do something that doesn't happen naturally. Oh and on a side note you won't get prego if your not a slut so close your legs.

    • an abortion before 7 weeks is exactly like a miscarriage. Miscarriages do happen naturally. You have nooo idea what you're talking about but what else can you expect? You're probably just some christian prick that knows it's "wrong" but can't quite get a grasp on why...get a mind of your own someday instead of spitting out shit you've heard from the elders in your church.
