What does it feel like to have multiple abortions? It feels the same as having one. It is a decision that isn’t lightly made and after weighing all the options, becomes the best one for that person.
I had two even though my husband and I used both condoms and birth control pills at the same time.

My doctors did not want me to have any children due to my medical conditions. But something about the month of April made me fertile Myrtle. I actually got pregnant three times.
I decided to ignore the doctors advice and carry the pregnancy to full term. I realized — after spending six months in the hospital after my child was born — why they didn’t want me to have children.
After pulling through, my doctors tied my tubes at the age of 24.
I do not regret having the two abortions even though I am plenty thankful for my child that I have now.
