A suction termination at 16
By anonymous on 27/12/2011
It all started standing there in closest toilet I could find, purchasing the first pregnancy test I could find. I was 1 day late, and I thought it would be negative but it wasn't. A faint line appeared on the stick. There it was, I wasn't sure what to think, I paused and stared at the stick holding it in my hand. I turned cold, and suddenly knew what would happen.I felt as if I was happy to be pregnant, then it kicked in.
I rang my boyfriend and told him we needed to talk. He came home from college, and we talked in my bedroom. My face went cold, I came out with the words "I'm pregnant". I felt so relieved to tell him, then he panicked. We then talked and things were making sense in a way.We did think about keeping it. Then the days pasted and it felt deeper and deeper into the situation.
I came round to telling my mum, which didn't go to well at all. I told my mum's boyfriend, then we all talked and everyone decided to say "get rid of it" (abortion). My face and heart went cold as I heard this even from my boyfriend. I cried and cried. A week passed and I was on my way to a family holiday with my family.
I was so tearful and exhausted after the hormones kicked in that week that I wasn't my usual self. My mum and stepdad knew, but acted as if it wasn't there.
A week after, I had my first scan, and they told me I was 5 and a half weeks pregnant. I was supposed to be nearly 8. The heartbeat had stopped. I leaked lots of blood and thought I had lost it there and then. I then had to wait another week after for another scan, I got told I was 7 weeks. The times were all messed up.
