Submitted by: M A, I have not allowed myself to grieve your loss. I still cannot believe that I had to make the choice to terminate my pregnancy. You were a healthy and strong baby, but I could not bring you into a world of chaos. You were a surprise, but conceived...
I found out I was pregnant and being only 8 months postpartum. I was at a loss for words, but I held back my emotions and remained stoic. I didn’t let the fear I was feeling show on my face as I sat with the doctor. This is my surgical abortion story. I left the...
