This story was submitted to us.

I had two abortions at the age of 20 and when I was 21. My boyfriend was 23 and 24 years old.

When we found out that I was pregnant for the first time, we were both shocked because both of us we were not emotionally and financially ready for a baby. We discussed it and decided to abort the first pregnancy. I was not ready at all to have a child.

After nine months later, I got another pregnancy and I aborted again. I still needed to grow and become mature because at that time I was not mature enough to take care of another human being.

We are still together today and we have discussions about having a baby now because we’re both grown, feel mature enough and are ready for that responsibility. We are taking it easy as the experience was not easy to go through.

To think about it all the time or ask questions about how it would have been, will not help me because what is done is done.
