I hope this is allowed
I hope this is allowed...I have not had an abortion, but am considering one now.
I'm twenty years old and just found out two days ago that I'm pregnant. I'm engaged to the most amazing man who is completely supportive.
We are both very involved in our church, as our most of our family members. Our church is amazing and we know that everyone would be supportive, after the expected initial shock and dissapointment.
Basically, we're going back and forth about whether or not to have an abortion. Right now, we both feel like we could handle it and avoid the guilt, but I think that we're not as tough as we think we are. I'm the type of person where if I have to, I can shut my emotions off, but I worry that I'm being naive about this whole thing.
Ultimately, I need advice. We both worry about how we'd ever be able to support a child, but know that that worry is something that will always be present regardless and we're fully aware that there are many resources available to us that would be very helpful.
Reading some of your stories in here is helping, but I need to hear from someone who thought they could handle an abortion and realized afterwards they'd made a big mistake or something like that. I'm so lost and so confused right now, I'm totally consumed by these thoughts.
Help.
(And if this is not allowed, I apologize. I have also posted in other communities)
