Answers:
You have no reason to feel guilty!. You did what you had to do at the time and you shouldn't justify your reasons to anyone!. We gained that right when abortion was legalized!. Some women feel guilty, and I'm sure that's normal!. You need to be at peace with yourself and realize that it is in the past!. It most certainly does not affect what kind of a mother you will be (or are)!. Choosing to do what's in the potential child's or your best interest at the time does not take away your motherly instincts and nature!. Embrace your femininity!. I have had an abortion and I have never regretted it or felt guilty; my partner on the other hand did since he was extremely religious and felt it was a sin!. I understood it needed to be done as I was still in high school!. Now, I am a mother of a beautiful 8-year-old girl and my abortion hasn't taken away any love I have for my daughter!. I hope my answer has helped!.!.!.I am not advocating abortion, but I am advocating a woman's right to choose and not feel guilty about it!. I hope I helped and I apologize for such a lenghty answer!.!.!.!.but I felt I had to answer in such a manner because some of the comments people left were insulting and had no place here!. Please don't listen to those people!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
what has caused you to do such a thing!.!.!.!.well never mind that!.!. i would say that what is done its done!.!.!.!.cummon life has to move on!.!.!.!.!.we always learn from our past mistakes so upgrade yourself and improve next time!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I can't say I've had an abortion, but I do think that what you're feeling is normal after what you've been through!. What you are feeling is way downplayed in the media!. They never tell you/warn you about the negative effects emotionally and mentally an abortion can have on a woman!. I'm sure if you're willing, there are people (support groups, counsellors) that can help you on your road to healing!.

At the time you must have had a very valid reason for feeling as though you weren't ready for motherhood!. Remember that!. Instead of thinking in the negative terms of your choice, turn it into a lesson that you learned and grew from!. You also may need some counselling to help you move forward and lose some of the guilt!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

y would u do such a thing killing aninnocent life!. but since u cant change it i guess what ur feeling is guilt!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I don't think you should live with regret because that is just silly and gets you no where!. I am 17 going to be 18 in a month and I am 23 weeks pregnant, abortion did cross my mind but I knew that it wasn't the right decision for me I am happy with the choice I made and can't wait to meet my baby boy!. On the other hand I know a girl who got an abortion when she was 15 and she still feels horrible to this day!. My mom knows some women who have got them as well and its just really if you feel that it was the best decision for you at that time then don't have regrets about it!. Of course you are going to feel bad but this isn't going to affect how great of a mom you will be to your future children, so cheer up and I hope all gets better for you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
