Post-Abortion Emotional & Physical Recovery: Addressing Concerns & Anxiety
Questioni had an abortion 2 days ago. i don't believe in them but do believe it should be your choice. after the abortion i did feel relieved until when i got to my boyfriends house i lost it and can't stop crying and wondering all different types of things.. Did my baby feel anything? Did the abortion work? i was 15 weeks and the did the vacuum aspiration on me ( i think that is what its called). I'm scared i have had bed dreams ever since. I'm just so worried will this get better?? will i ever get over what i did because i feel so guilty and confused. i cant talk to my mom about it i can just talk to my boyfriend. i didn't want my family to know about it because they would just never forgive me. can you help me?thank you!
