My family aren't religious, so they were fine about it - My mum had an abortion when she was younger too. My friends and family were overall mostly supportive of my decision.
Type of abortion: in a clinic or hospital with surgery
I had a surgical abortion, the pain was similar to that of period pain... It was very quick and convenient.
Reason for abortion: financial issues, my education, my age (too young or old), problems with my relationship, my personal reasons for not wanting a child, mental health reasons
There were a lot of reasons for my decision, on top of all that... It just didn't feel right. It wasn't the right time and that's OK.
Feelings about abortion: peaceful, resolved, numb, relieved, happy, as usual, sure
As this was my first abortion I felt a little nervous and maybe a bit scared. But it isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be... It was A LOT easier than I expected and I felt a lot of relief afterward. Women have the right to choose.
Religion no religion
Children: i have no children
