KateI had an abortion
How old are you: Between
17
and 23
Country of birth: United Kingdom
Type of abortion: in a clinic or hospital with surgery
Hospitals aren't nice when your going somewhere to get something like this done. It all feels way to clinical and routine. Being 16 at the time i wanted someone to understand but the nurses were very quick and brisk with everyone and there was no room to ask what was i store or how to cope with the abortion.
Reason for abortion: my age (too young or old)
I was 16, got pregnant on my first time having sex. Sounds like a cliche but its true. I wasn't ready i had so much i needed to do before i fell pregnant and i wouldn't have been able to raise a child.
Feelings about abortion: grieving, numb, angry, confused, in doubt, guilty, afraid
It was just confusing. One minute you have alife growing inside of you and 10 minutes later you don't. It all felt a bit surreal like it wasn't actually happening to me but someone else entirley.
Religion no religion
