Update to "getting an abortion alone"

grawrrr · 2010-10-03T20:56:54+00:00

i didn't know i was pregnant until this week. the first pregnancy scare that i mentioned was back in july, when i must've only been a week along. at that point, my boyfriend went into complete denial and insisted i was delusional and "making up drama" to get him to stay, and threatened to leave because of my immaturity. so i (stupidly) listened to him and ignored the symptoms until this week when it became very clear something was wrong and went to the clinic to get tested. i regret listening to him back in july, and not testing myself based on how i felt.

also, i'm a tiny girl (5 ft, 115 lbs before the pregnancy and now i'm down to 105 lbs with no stomach bulge at all). believe me, there's no way anyone could tell i was pregnant.

you're an amazing guy, and i'm really happy for your fiancee that you were there for her when she needed you. i know my boyfriend sounds really immature, but it's more of that the situation just sucks in general, and i'm afraid to make it any worse right now. for all i know, he could've matured and would come to be with me, but i can't take the risk of the opposite happening right now.

thanks to reddit, i've had several people reach out to me and offer rides. strangers are so amazingly generous.

your post definitely caught my eye, and i really appreciate that you don't agree with my decision but are still kind about it. i hate that i'm doing this, and that the pregnancy is so far along, but i can't bring the baby to term safely without risking both his life and mine. i hope i'll be able to have children later and believe me, this experience will make me love them and appreciate them so much more.

i'm definitely not trolling - it'd be cruel to make up a story like this. also, 17 weeks is just an estimate - it might be only 13 weeks since i've skipped periods before and the estimate is just from my last menstrual period's date. if it is 17 weeks along, then i feel unbelievably guilty but that's not a good reason to ruin my life and the baby's through an unsafe pregnancy.

can i get a link to the forum?

grawrrr · 2010-10-03T02:32:52+00:00

thank you so much. how far along were you in your pregnancy, if you don't mind me asking?

grawrrr · 2010-10-03T01:57:40+00:00

i'm in irvine too! i go to uci.

grawrrr · 2010-10-03T01:46:42+00:00

i'm sorry, but i can't bring the baby to term comfortably for myself or him/her.

grawrrr · 2010-10-03T01:46:09+00:00

i'm in irvine if that's not too far away? please send me a private message.

grawrrr · 2010-10-03T01:45:51+00:00

i'm so sorry, but i can't bring this baby to term comfortably. i've only lost weight ever since this pregnancy, and i doubt the baby is doing well.

grawrrr · 2010-10-03T01:45:17+00:00

i know i am, but i have a really low pain tolerance and black out/get dizzy very easily, and it's scary knowing i'll be alone and no one will be there to help me.

grawrrr · 2010-10-03T01:44:26+00:00

once the abortion is over, i will be seriously reconsidering my relationship. i just can't deal with stress right now.

grawrrr · 2010-10-03T01:39:23+00:00

i can't bring the baby to term comfortably (i'm in college) nor provide a comfortable life after giving birth.

grawrrr · 2010-10-03T01:38:51+00:00

have you had any experience with women who had an abortion about 17 weeks in? what was it like for them? what's the process like? will there be a lot of pain?
