Note: The Exhale Pro-Voice After-Abortion Stories Hub includes people’s stories of their experiences and emotions, exactly as they have written them in. We do not edit these stories at all, and the content that follows this message is exactly as we received it. We know that people’s experiences are complex, and these stories reflect the many emotions they may be feeling after their abortions. From relief to grief, and everything in between, and all at the same time, we’re here for you.

We’re not ready yet.

I found out I was pregnant 4 days ago right after my birthday (I just turned 23), and just got an abortion today.

I know that it was the right thing to do for my situation. Me and my boyfriend aren’t ready yet, but deep down I’m sad because I feel like it’s my fault that I’m not ready. I haven’t been able to stop crying.

After it was done I got this overwhelming feeling of loneliness. My boyfriend is great and we don’t have any issues really, but even with him here I just feel completely alone.
