I was 14 weeks and 3 days when I took my first abortion tablet. It was yesterday, and I am just getting little cramps sometimes. I am due to stay in hospital tomorrow, going in the morning at 9am.. Proper dreading what's going to happen. **I really wanted to keep the baby so badly.**
But my parents had fallen out with me. My husband left me. And I was completely alone. And everything just is really hard.
Most of the days it's really hard to get food in my belly. As I am homeless now, with no support from anyone whatsoever.
As I went in to the nurses office on Wednesday I literally felt sick... I wanted to tear down all the hospital. But I had my feelings in my heart. I knew it had to be done. So sickly I took the tablet from the nurse and the glass of water and swallowed it. As I headed back to the lift to walk back home. I wanted to scream! No one understands how it feels... Since I took that pill, I'm just crying for my baby, which is dead now. I hate it! I feel angry at the guy that I married... I hate him so much... Tomorrow I'm going to the hospital., dreading every single minute...
