Sharing Truth One abortion, 2nd Trimester, 14 Weeks “The first thing he said to me after we found out was, “I’ll need to know everyone you’re seeing from now on.” It became very clear, very quickly that this wasn’t about having a baby for him.

Sharing Truth Later Abortions, 2nd Trimester, 14 Weeks, 18 Weeks, U.S. “My husband and I faced pregnancy loss a total of four times. We terminated two very wanted pregnancies — one at 14 weeks and one at 18 weeks. And years after delivering our living son, I miscarried twice.
