Ever since my abortion last November, I’ve had to stop going on social media. People announcing pregnancies make me tearful. It seems like I think of this loss more often than I thought I would.
At first, I was unbothered. I still feel like I have a third baby somewhere. I’ll just never meet him or her. Would’ve know the gender by now had I kept it.
It amazes me how saddened I am by it, even knowing I wasn’t financially ready for a third baby. I guess it’s a lose, lose situation. I haven’t felt the same since this abortion. Definitely not myself, whoever that was…. this experience changed me. RIP angel baby
