I had an abortion at 24 and then a few years later we got pregnant again and I had a miscarriage. At that time we felt like we knew we wanted to have kids and we started trying. We figured if it was going to take a while we may as well go for it. Well, It took us 3 years with as many miscarriages to have our son. You will never be prepared for a child, but the great thing about it is that you learn and grow as they do. Your whole perspective on life changes and that’s not cliche, it just is.

I also had an abortion when my son was 14 months old as my brother died the month before and I knew I couldn’t handle pregnancy and then a new born while in such intense pain and grief. I’m regretting my decision a little bit now because now I’m having baby fever now that I’m able to process my grief better, and my son will be 3 soon and he’s gotten so much easier to handle.

Anyways, it’s good to overthink something so life changing but try and listen to your heart as well.
