Country of abortion: Chile

People in my country are VERY religious. Only few people know about it, about 5 or so, people I know I could trust and they took it fine. They supported me.

Type of abortion: with medicines, by myself

It was like... My period with a little more pain and a little more blood. But it was like my period.

Reason for abortion: my education, my age (too young or old)

I was seventeen and not really interested in becoming a mother, I would love to be one some day, but some day not right now. I want to be an 'adult' first, have a job, my own place, etc. Having a kid it's expensive, and if I would have keep it I could not been able to give him/her what I want for a child. So.. after thinking a lot about it, I decided to terminate the pregnancy.

Feelings about abortion: comfortable, peaceful, sure

I feel fine about it. It was about a year ago and I'm okay, I don't regreat it at all, It was the best decision I could have made. Sometimes I look back and say to my self if I could go back... I would do the exact same thing, because I was very sure of my decision and never had second thoughts.. I say to women to go ahead and don't care about what OTHER people thoughts are.. It only matters what you think, whatever those thoughts are, if you wanna keep it.. keep it.. if you dont want to keep it.. don't. Our thoughts are the only ones that matters.

Religion no religion

Children: i have no children
