feeling sad about my abortion.

I had an abortion exactly 9 months ago. im feeling really sad and gettting kinda emotional because this is the month I would be having my baby. I regret that abortion and ask for forgiveness everyday. I shouldnt have gotten it and im feeling really sad and bad right now cause my baby would be born this month. can anyone offer any words of encouragement… anything would help I just need to get this out of my system.

Answer #1

Think positive about it. You were only 19 and, for whatever reasons, didn’t feel that you were ready for a child. The abortion gave you the opportunity to continue with your life gaining more knowledge, experience and wisdom.

It may well be that the abortion has actually allowed you to improve your life and be better prepared and capable for when you do decide to have a child.

IMHO, and according to what I believe, the aborted baby holds no ill-will against you. It knew, prior to the conception and its occupation of the baby’s body, what the probable circumstances were going to be. Yet, for its own reasons it still chose to exist for that month. Those circumstances fulfilled its purpose and added to your growth.

        Simply a Rose to brighten your day,         And maybe lessen the cares in your way;         And also, too, to help you to know,         That in knowing you, many others grow!

You were probably scared and didnt know what to do. I dont know how old you are or what exactly was going on in your life at the time you made your decision but just as the person above me said…the deed is done… I personally do not approve of abortion but I know that you were probably facing a hard time and this seemed like the best decision. I only wish you would have looked ahead and thought about if you would have regret your decision. All I can say is pray about it and dont feel like God hates you (assuming that you are a religious person) he still love you and has forgiven you. but also like the person above me has said, it is time that you have forgiven yourself accept that there is nothing more that you can do and trust that things will look up in your furure…

God Bless and I hope that everythign works out for you ill keep you in my prayers

I have a friend whose mother had to terminate her pregnancy because the baby had a genetic disease, during the month that she would have had the baby, she lit a large candle and allowed herself to be sad about it.

a year later she fell pregnant and had the most adorable baby boy who is 3 years old now, and as healthy as ever. there are moments when she thinks of her choice that she made, and now she is able to move on and appreciate what she has.

only time can heal, and its going to take time to let you forgive yourself and move on. thank G-d you can always have another baby, and create a future for yourself and family that is a good one.

let yourself feel sad, but know that whats done is done and all you can do is handle the consequences as best you can. Im sorry you are going through this. be strong xxx

we all make mistakes, and I admit, somehting like this won’t heal over night. it’s hard to be open about this because everyone is so judgemental these days (so sad), but there is someone out there that is not judgemental. my advice is to find someone to talk to about this; someone that understand a lot about emotional pain. it doesn’t have to one of those doctors that people go see, but it could be a close friend, or someone on here that has had experience with emotional pain and is willing to help you through it. that’s the key, though: to find one person to talk to about this. as you continue talking about it, the quicker the pain will dull.

Answer #5

You made your choice for your own reasons and I am sure you thought you were doing the right thing. Sounds to me like you need to forgive yourself, You are being your own enemy. You can’t take it back but you need to learn to move forward. I am so sorry you are going through this, I hope you are able to move on. Wounds will heal but the scare never goes away and I don’t think you will ever forget what you did but you need to forgive yourself and move on.

Answer #6

You might want to consider getting some counseling. You were young & don’t let anyone judge you. Only you walk in you’r shoes
