I had an abortion twice this year using medications. One was around August, and the second in November.

I was actually devastated when I found out I was pregnant for the second time. To me, I actually felt that it was too soon to be having another abortion, and at some point I was scared something was going to go wrong in the process.

It was awful, but just for a few hours. Fortunately for me the cramps and bleeding weren’t as high as the first one. I'd still choose this kind of abortion over surgical.

Thanks to God and my boyfriend who stood by me. I knew my family would be disappointed. A few friends who knew about it called to check on me.
