I was let down by birth control and had two abortions. During my second abortion I experienced complications and had a number of scares which I might not have got through emotionally or physically without the help of BPAS and the NHS.

My feelings about my abortion were comfortable, peaceful, resolved, confident, sure.

I have felt confident in both of my abortions that I made the right decision, and was lucky in that I was supported in my choice.

I wasn't ready emotionally or financially to have a child. I didn't want to put my body through pregnancy and childbirth and I also didn't have the security to raise a child.

I am proud of the decision I made.

My family and friends were very supportive.
