”I’m 37 and never been pregnant until the end of 2021. I told people about the first one and, the second I’ve mostly kept a secret, which feels strange. I just read an article about someone who had the same thing happen. That was good to read.” Read more.

“I'd also like to say that my second pregnancy was due to failed contraception. I had the Mirena coil fitted, which was still in place at the time I found out I was pregnant, so even when you're being as responsible as possible, pregnancy can still happen and you can't beat yourself up about it. “ Read More.

“I broke the news and he put on his track shoes. He was never ok with it and then he accepted it. He then changed his mind and began torturing me mentally. We'd get along well for a week then he'd flip out saying he doesn't want me or a baby. He finally moved out and I'm stuck trying to pay bills and come up with the $550 needed for the procedure.” Read more.

“Despite being on the pill, I found myself pregnant again. And this time I had no idea how to feel. On the one hand, I still desperately wanted children. On the other hand, in my heart of hearts I knew that this was not a healthy relationship. Was it fair to bring a child into this? What if Andrew treated them like he treated me?”

“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.” Click the green title to read more.

“I had a very unstable upbringing — absent father, constantly moving, in foster care whilst my Mum was depressed and suicidal for long periods — and for me I do not want to bring a child into the world without the security of having a stable, permanent home.” Click the green title to read more.

“There seems to be no coming together of women in solidarity over abortion. Women unite to help when a battered wife leaves a husband or a wife and mother is abandoned by a husband or lover, but on the issue of abortion there is a resounding silence.” Click the green title to read more.

“I feel sad about the decision I've made but I knew I could never look at my baby not knowing who its dad was, and not having support from anyone, I wouldn't be able to raise it. I didn't want to create yet another broken family as I've lived through that and didn't want that for my baby. Knowing that no one cared about me or my baby hurts the most. I just hope someday I can find someone who will love me and support me and a child.” Click the green title to read more.

“I had 2 jobs and was going to school full time. All of my money went to either school or bills, I hardly had anything saved up. I knew that I couldn't give the baby up for adoption once it was born either. If I went through all of the pain of carrying him/her to term then of course I'm going to keep my child.

“I decided to surprise him and show up so that we could visit the doctor together for the ultrasound. When I arrived, however, I found out that he was married. I was so devastated and felt completely betrayed. He explained that they were getting a divorce and he did not know how to tell me. All I could think was that I had been lied to for the last couple of months. I now had to deal with the realization that I was pregnant for a married man. I knew that I didn't want to be with him, which made me also question the quality of life the child would have.” Click the green title to read more.
