Found out yesterday at the abortion clinic I am pregnant with twins. I’m supposed to go back tomorrow.
Knowing it’s two changes things, doesn’t it?
I’ve had a medication abortion before and I don’t want to go through this again.
Single, first-time mom of twins, no friends or family within 10 hours, wtf am I going to do???
I know this is crazy town talk but I want to believe that one of these babies is my first angel baby, if that makes sense?
I always wanted to believe that the spirit chooses their parents before birth and idk I know it’s crazy I just feel like it’s the same spirit who was always supposed to be my baby.

Commenter: I found out my pregnancy was twins at my abortion appointment too.
I understand your thought that it changes things, but does it change your initial reason for wanting the abortion? Only you know that.
For me it didn’t.
My ultrasound tech told me it was twins (I burst into tears) and he said in a really kind way — ‘look if you’re not ready for one you’re unlikely to be ready for two’.
For me this made sense, and I went through with the termination.
This was the right choice for me and only you know the right one for you. I wish you all the best with the decision you make.
UPDATE: A later post indicates the original poster chose to have the abortion and end the twin pregnancy. We send respect and love to everyone who faces these challenging decisions, regardless of what they choose. Pregnancies that come at the wrong time, in the wrong circumstances, are so unfair. Every outcome deserves understanding, respect and compassion.
