I was at uni and had to make a quick decison
By anonymous on 08/12/2010
I found out I was pregnant at the end of my first year of university and was terrified.I was and am still in a long term relationship which made the decision I made more difficult. My boyfriend reacted badly insisting that I get an abortion as soon as possible as we were only 20 and had uni to think about.
I was confused and felt I had to make a decision quickly therefore rushed into it. I regret it more than anything and have found everyday hard since but have been having counselling to cope which has helped.
I wish I had talked my options through with someone
I felt I didn't have an option at the time. My boyfriend was quite forceful and I think I did it for him mainly and not for me and that's what makes me regret things even more.I know I can't take back what I did but I hope anyone in the same position can read this and know that its YOUR decision and to talk to someone about your options.
Colleges, schools and universities will help you if you find yourself pregnant and help you to cope, mentally and sometimes financially.
It was the worst mistake of my life
Never have an abortion to please a boyfriend or any guy it should be your decision, but if you still feel like you want an abortion please consider the emotional side affects of it because I didn't realise it before but it was the worst mistake of my life and I would do anything to change it.So just know you're not alone and talk to someone for ALL your options.
