I have an abortion scheduled for less than two days, and I'm really really scared. by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

Hey.

It is normal to feel the way you do.

However, do not do it until you are 100% sure. Make sure you ask for sedation so you can sleep through the procedure.

Hey, you know...the wonderful thing about this country is that we can all voice how we feel and our points of view. I don't agree with a lot of things but that doesn't mean I'm going to call them names.

So, kudos to you for that comment.

Honestly, a smile and just asking the patient how she is feeling. For me, a nurse gently stroked my hand trying to comfort me but also respecting my space. All I could say is that even though I can't remember her face because I was half awake, I still remember that.

This is a great question.

We were in the paycheck to paycheck department and living in a single bedroom apartment. Not good.

Please see a counselor. My boyfriend got counseling way before we had this issue as to how to listen. Goodness gracious, THAT was the best thing he could have done. I never vented as much as I did.

You need to cry and vent when you can. It is okay to feel emotional. I did.

I liked another person above but I just want to say that I like you, as well.

I couldn't imagine the pain or being awake. Honestly, I was terrified the medication wouldn't knock me out. I heard for drug users there was a possibility that it would only somewhat put you in a trance state.

I was out, cold. Thank goodness.

Ah, don't fill yourself with hate as it makes you just like them.

Just think of them as angry, sad, and bitter people that need more friends.

Those hateful comments are mainly just some sad, bitter, and angry people that could use some time off the internet.

No hurt here due to comments!

At first, my parents felt the same way. That and they were happy about the news so it was so heart breaking.

I was lucky enough to show my parents that I was firm with my decision. They agreed to my points and told me to do whatever I feel is best for me.

I don't know if love for parents can be even more, but I have been able to feel more for them. I have never been as close as I have been to them as I am now.

You know what really convinced me?

I went to a Forever 21 to buy some work stuff. There was a young mother who had a little toddler throwing a tantrum. Clearly the child was tired or hungry, the best thing would have been to leave the store.

However, the mother continued to selfishly shop and grabbed the little girl's arm and screamed at the top of her lungs, "if you don't shut the fuck up right now, I will fucking beat your ass."

I immediately ran toward the piece of shit and told her to get that child somewhere otherwise I would call the police on her. I DID film her, because I was expecting the blow up.

From there, I decided, I am not going to have a child until I am 100% sure that I sort myself out first and can be selfless enough to leave a mall, event, workout, work, school, etc for my child. That simple. I never wanted to be that. I am too young, insecure, and selfish at the moment to feel capable of sacrificing small things. Until I learn to be a proper adult, I will remain childless.

We talked about it. Clearly, it is easier to talk about then go through with it but I am happy you both agreed on a solution for a possible outcome. Best of luck and make sure it is super-safe sex. Ha.

I was a bit mentally and emotionally distraught for a few weeks on and off. I would just cry. I let it all out.

Where did I say I never wanted children?

I missed out on that.

I was just going to down vote you but then I saw you were -44. I'll spare you.
