I dont even know where to start.I should starting telling that I had an abortion 2 days ago. I will never forget when I walked in the clinic and ppl outside was yelling and telling me that I was not a murder , that was kind of true , they saw in my face I didnt want that , in my heart I would walk out and give up once again like I did in the last clinic , 3 times.

But this time no. I dont know how , I didnt leave the clinic.

Well my pregnancy was always really difficult for me. In a different country and without job I was aldeary depressed with my situation. I have a bf or had I dont really know, that has a job , a good job that could probrably take care of me and the baby. When I found out i was pregnant I pannic. I tried to accept later , I make my first appt , I saw my baby .I decided to have and then I got scared with my sittuation, how about if my bf leave me , what im going to do here by myself , maybe I just tried to find excuses I knew there is no excuses for abortion. We went to the clinic me and my bf, then we cried , i walk out for the first time. Then I got another appt I walk for the second time. That clinic would not do the proccedure anymore because they knew I didnt want that.

Then my bf start fight with me telling me he didnt want that baby.Well he already has a baby with another woman I found it hard to deal with because Im very jelous. I use to look to his baby and think , I want to have a baby with him too, then everything is going to be ok.

He start saying that he didnt want the baby , and if I would like to be a single mother with no money , I pannic again. I was so confused in my heart I knew he was a good father and I was good mother but why he was dening this baby, maybe because of me? I could not understand it. I was feeling so alone , afraid and confused maybe i was just being weak.

I waited so long , I got a book , babys pictures , and I was taking care of him , didnt drink , no sushi , and later I just kill him.

I went to another clinic again, and waited as usual, the worse waiting room, and cried again.I just wanted this over I knew would not be over anyways. Then I got ultrasound 14 weeks .The doctor looked like a monster and told me he was going to take care of me , and in my head I thought why I choose to be here . he was not careful , when he did the exame he was very rough and I was afraid he would hurt my baby... what a stupid thing to think when u getting an abortion.



Then the counselor came to talk to me, I know was her job , but she starting telling me that counseling is not what we have in mind , I knew it was just a bussiness , she just want to make sure about my heathy , and smiling asked If I was ok because I was shaking, she ask really fast are u sure that is what u want. I should say no. I said Yes I am!

and then I waited again, and finally got to the operation room , when I saw it I just wanted run. I cant believe I sat down there , I was ready to give up and the doctor said relax , and tied my legs , I just look up and waited for the IV and I knew that I could not give up anymore . the last thing I asked Is for god to forgive me, and now I know I dont deserve it.

After I woke up in the recovery room, I went to change and I saw the blood , I felt like a monster.

now Im here when I go to the bathroom and see blood I know is my babys blood, how i could kill an inocent that has nothing to do with my problems.Im afraid to go outside and see babies , Im afraid to turn on the TV and Im afraid when december comes the due date comes and when the mather day comes. I just feel i want to repair what I did and have another baby, so stupid , nothing is going to replace my first child.I dont want to eat and yesterday I was drinking tea and I checked to see if it had to much caffeine , then I realize I dont need to be careful anymore with what I eat and drink...all I want is to be carefull again, the emptness and the guilt is in my heart, I dont feel taking care of myself if I could not take care of my baby and how selfish I was to think about my problems , I was not raped , I was not going out with a married man, I did not have any risks and i was 100 % sure I had a heathy child . Now I dont know when is going to be the right time, ppl say that is never a right time, and Im afraid god is going to punish me and I cant have kids anymore.I should not be afraid. I think I deserve all the punishment , and If Im crying now I deserve that, I know was not a tissue, I know what it was , I know was wrong, that is the reason why i dont believe in forgiveness sometimes , because i was not naive, I was not a tennager.. Im 25, I was not 16 , I have no excuses for what I did , Now im confused again but I dont have to make a choice anymore , I wish I had .
I know this pain is never going to be over, I think if I have another child the pain is going to be a little less. But when it is going to be the right time? Do i deserve to be pregnant again? God gave me a gift I keeping imagining how amazing life is , how amazing was to have another life inside me , that i could never doubt about god , how beautiful is the conception, I just killed something was growing each day inside me , this is not fair .I found every excuse to dont have this baby, now i find every reason to have a baby. I was somebory educated , that was completly pro-life, and I use to judge woman that had an abortion. Now Im just 1 more , in the percentage of woman that regret their abortion, Im sure I would not regret my baby , my own blood . How can somebory trust me , how can i trust myself again . When I walked out the first time from the clinic , I saw a bird . I looked to the bird and I imagining killing a bird, and I knew I could not do it. thats is a stupid comparison but how could I kill a baby inside me. I drove my car back home I was sure I was going to do whatever I could to take care of my baby. I came to this country to be a nanny , how could now be a killer ? When I watch TV even if I see an animmal take care of their babies that hurts me. Im now being punished by myself and dont think I deserve enjoy or laugh, when ppl say hi how are u? I give them a fake smile and say good! I just want to tell everybory that im not an angel.

Dear Regy,
Thank you for the honor of sharing your story with us. You are a very brave woman to face what happened to you so soon after it happened! I am grieving with you, sister, and praying for you. You are not alone. I know you don't feel very brave right now, but I want to let you know that God loves you, no matter what. You said that you asked Him to forgive you and He promises in His Word that when we ask, we receive. I can hear your heart that you are very repentant about what you have done, and the Lord sees your heart. Believe it or not, He will use this horrible thing that has happened to you for the good in your future. Don't give up on Him and don't give up on yourself. There is help, healing and hope available for you. Check out our resource page for abortion recovery groups. It will be well worth your time and effort. Pray about it. You may not be ready right away, but I know the Lord wants to do a deep healing in your heart for the loss of your baby that you were already so connected with. Trust and know that your baby is safe in the arms of Jesus and you will see your baby when you get to Heaven. Your baby only knows love, so don't be afraid that your baby will judge you, for it would be impossible for that to happen. Give your heart completely to the Lord Jesus, if you haven't already done so and ask Him to help you forgive yourself, and receive the forgiveness in your heart that He has already given you. He doesn't want to punish you, He only wants to love you and love others through you. Healing will take time, but it does happen. I have been through several healing groups myself, and if it weren't for that, I probably would have taken my own life by now. God rescued me from self destruction and I know that He will rescue you also, just let Him.
You are so loved and appreciated,

PS Please go to a doctor soon to get checked out and make sure everything is okay with the bleeding, Please.
