I misclicked while scrolling. I meant to click yes (no regret) that’s my bad.

I’ve had thoughts of what if’s but no guilt or regret.
But I’ve also generally done a lot of “radical acceptance” through my years of therapy (was in therapy before I ever had experienced any abortions or pregnancies lol)

I said yes on regret but I feel like it’s more in the middle (I’m pro choice), bc I know there’s no way I could have given a child the life I would want for them at the age I was or the place i was in my life, and being adopted myself-and it’s not a bad thing, being adopted-i just knew I didn’t want to do that and the weight of having given up my child with the potential of never being involved or meeting them, that would have been too much for me to handle, then and now. However, no matter where you’re coming at it from, I would imagine there’s always going to be at least a little regret, whether you think it’s already a life, or just the beginnings of one. If that makes any sense.

And please don’t crucify me for my beliefs and being honest. It was and should be every woman’s right to choose, tho Trump kind of took that away from us.

I knew it was the right decision for me at the time because I was so young but there were times I guess I felt punished because I then ended up having 2 miscarriages and struggled to get pregnant so didn’t end up with my first till I was 35 nearly 36 which always made me think maybe that was why.

I haven’t but I was close with my son due to multiple scans being incorrect and medical professionals giving us the scary talk about chromosomal issues.

I was torn by it, truly in bits because it’s never something I thought I’d ever do. I’ve always been fortunate enough to be able to support another kid and with a supportive partner so having an abortion never crossed my mind until there was a possible medical need. Thankfully we didn’t and he was born totally healthy and with no chromosomal issues.

I know I could do it but it would personally break us, we were in bits at the thought. I think women who have had to have abortions are incredibly strong, mentally and physically ♥️ xx
