SandraI had an abortion when i was 16 yrs old. Thankfully I had access to this option in a safe and supportive environment. It was this positive experience that led me to become a social worker and work in womens sexual and reproductive health.
How old are you: Between
36
and 42

Type of abortion: in a clinic or hospital with surgery
This was an extremely positive experience. It was quick and provided me with the assurance that I was definitely no longer pregnant. I had no issues post procedure.
Reason for abortion: my age (too young or old)
I fell pregnant with my first partner. I was in my final year at school and both my partner and I did not even consider the possibility of me continuing with the pregnancy. It was never an option. Our main concern was having a safe end to the pregnancy without any parents finding out.
Feelings about abortion: comfortable, resolved, relieved
