Thank you for opening up about your experience. I don't think you know the depth of how many people you've educated, and informed with real life information about abortions or what to expect. I'm sorry you weren't informed, and me myself wouldn't have known anything if I didn't Google and search RU-vid and find you. I don't know what I would have done if not finding you on here first before anything. I hope you are in a better place now, and feel better about your experience and experiences. Thank you for helping. You've helped me.
Thank you so much for opening up and sharing this experience. This is a perfect example of how abortion clinics don’t always tell women everything - I am starting to believe they do that on purpose so women don’t get scared and change their mind about having the abortion. That would be bad for business. I can’t imagine how traumatizing this was for you. Your truth will help others. Thank you for being brave and sharing your story.
The reality is woman aren’t being educated on the truth of abortion. Before going to the abortion clinic, I convinced myself abortion was something that needed to be done. After about 5 mins talking to the on-site counsellor, she told me, I couldn’t give a child the life it deserved (mind you I didn’t say much to her other than reacting closed off). In that moment I hardened my heart completely, as she would have been the last person to give me hope and encouragement to say, “you can do this”, “you can keep the baby”, “there are other options”, “it’ll be hard, but it’s possible to be a good mom”. I truly was convinced (at 20) I knew what I was doing, even though I did consciously feel it was selfish/wrong. I didn’t like the baby’s dad, I was afraid of what my dad would think, I wasn’t financially stable (some reasons I used to make my decision). I know now, life itself would have been the best thing I could have gave my baby as it was already alive, simply just forming. We are faced with trauma not because we’ve seen our baby’s but because we were faced with the reality of abortion. What I learned is justifying an abortion seems helpful (for some) but in the end, only continues the downward spiral of trauma as this encourages other to believe abortion won’t affect them. No matter what, the internal loss is still there. It wouldn’t be there if we empowered women to be moms and connected them to pregnancy resource centres, to help navigate another path, before an irreversible decision. Or to open up to someone that would support you through a pregnancy, even if you didn’t want that support. We have too many people in society willing to support abortion, which continues this ugly cycle. Get another opinion. Its been 9 years since having an abortion which means I’d have a 9 year old. That psychologically messes with you, apart from soo many other things they don’t tell you about abortion. I’d do anything to have my little one back.
Ending a life because it wasn't convenient to you. If that is not the most selfish thing I've ever heard. You are right, you would have a nine year old that would be the light of your life right now. Instead you can look forward to meeting that child on your judgement day in front of God. Enjoy your life, clearly it's all about you anyway.
@@claudehopper6192 it is a selfish thing. And that’s the point. Point people to truth. Point people to jesus. That will be the most loving thing you can do. I pray you well 🙏🏼
@@claudehopper6192 You are a sick, angry, heartless person. You will face judgement for showing No mercy. This poor woman opened her heart and soul and personal experience to the whole public and instead of letting her know the True Hope of CHRIST, you rather crucify her all over again. Dont you know, when you lift a hand against the least of these, you lift it against CHRIST??? WHERE YOU BORN PERFECT??? REPENT.
I’ve just taken the pill. I was not told any of this... and I’m in so much pain I decided to look up other women talking about it because I am completely alone through this and I needed to hear from someone. Thank you so much for sharing, I am terrified. I am about to have to take the second set of pills and I’ve already been bleeding and cramping since I’ve woken up this morning. They told me “cramps”, this is not that. No one knows about this but me, but I might have to be forced to tell my sister in case I need to go to the doctor because I’m freaking out.
The pill abortion is worst than the medical abortion. I had the pill abortion and that was by far the worst pain I ever felt in my entire life. People thought I was exaggerating it but no that pain is no joke.
You are such a brave girl to go on youtube and speak on behalf of all the people who have been misinformed, as well as your self. I can truly say I am here for you and I am so dreadfully sorry that this has happened to you, clearly in this case the women was rushing her job, but not doing it efficiently enough. When you are having this awful thing happen to you, you would expect a little patience! It is really shocking to hear that that women was sure as hell qualified and had some great interpersonal skills!
Your so brave to share your story. Thank you! I too had an abortion. I didn’t realize how much it affected the following 10 years of my life. I met Jesus and he healed me of the experience. He showed me my sweet little baby boy that I had taken out of this world. He showed me a love and forgiveness that was completely unimaginable. He healed my heart and now I can truly love again! I pray you will invite Jesus- the living God- into your heart and experience the same beautifulness of radical grace that I did. It’s not religion! It’s just Jesus! No rules, no bullshit....just LOVE!!!! May God bless you sweet girl! ❤️
Something else they didn't tell you is that you will likely be traumatized the rest of your life. Many older women who had abortions say they have never gotten over it. Abortion doesn't just end a life , it traumatizes you for the rest of yours. Sad
@@crystlelakefarm1254 not more so… geez you are everywhere in the comments mad at people who regret their decision. I question that type of person you are to have that kind of mindset…
The difference is that those blessed with children have sometimes traumatic births (as my friend did) but the happiness with holding the new Baby makes overcome the trauma. And for other women it is not traumatic at all (like for my mother). Would it be true that giving birth leaves you being traumatised for the rest of your life, women wouldn’t want to have more babies, but many do and have!! 😊😊😊
I'm so happy I get to watch my baby grow up! Her father who I've lived with for the past three years treated me awful during the pregnancy it was a hard pregnancy it was not a happy birthday experience it was a very bad experience, but my baby is absolutely amazing I love her and I'm happy I didn't let anyone pressure me into killing her! I'm happy I didn't let the bulshit that I went through during that time cause me to harm my baby! And I look at her and I'm so thankful that I get to watch her grow up!
I think all pregnancies are a miracle oh, there's so much involved in getting pregnant it's not as easy as sometimes we think it is, we all start out as a ball of cells but that's part of the miracle process! The creation of life is truly something amazing!
thank you so much for posting this. i cried along with you. i’m currently 8 weeks along (almost 9) as well and the father of the child wants me to do this method of abortion so i’ve been trying to educate myself as much as possible. he doesn’t understand my fears behind doing this. honestly this sounds completely traumatizing and you are very brave for doing this and also sharing your story with everyone. i’m terrified of childbirth however this sounds not only physically but emotionally and mentally taxing. i feel at a loss but still thank you for helping me be more informed. hope all is well with you 🩷
I really needed REAL LIFE stories like this.... thank you for sharing. I am so sorry 😞 you had to go through this with little to no knowledge... but you're here making sure someone else knows.
What a brave and intelligent young woman you are. By sharing your experience you could literally save lives. Thanks so much for taking the time and tell your personal journey to all of us. Be kind to yourself.
My relationship was tumultuous. The man I had a child with was emotionally abusive He even told me he didn’t want children with me and he hate I got pregnant and he hoped I had a hard pregnancy because he was not going to be around. My life is a wreck I was not in no position to take care of my child on my own. I got my abortion on Nov 19th and I’m having a hard time coping just seeing my baby lifeless is eating me up inside. I can’t get it out of my mind. I’m experiencing anxiety depression and a lot of sleepless nights. Even though I know having child would have been a hard. I even started counseling because I still feel guilty about everything.
You should feel terrible. You ended a life because you were selfish and only concerned with yourself and your happiness. I mean listen to the OP here cheering you on, ITS ALL ABOUT YOU! YOU GO GIRL! When you die, you'll get to see your unborn child and then be judged accordingly.
Nakima : living is about taking decisions , some of them are more difficult than others. You took a decision about this and you need to keep going. We shouldn't be influenced by other people, religion and society when we deal with this. You need to understand that is your life journey and your experience and nobody has the right to tell you how to feel about this. There are a lot of people in this world that think they are God because they easily judge and condemned people. Empowering yourself be kind to yourself and if you really want to be a mother you will be when you feel ready. Sending strength and positive energy.
I had such a similar experience. It was the most painful thing ive ever experienced. And i had to flush my baby too which was the worst thing and i will not ever get over it. My abortion ended up being incomplete which meant i ended up bleeding for over 2 months. I thought i was going to die.
God bless you and your baby that was killed in your womb, you are a mother now and that will never change,. I hope you find healing and forgiveness. God bless you both.
Going through this right now, I have had the pills in my mouth for 20 minutes now unfortunately I have been through this before and it’s a very traumatic experience. I have hg pregnancy and keeping the baby could be more traumatizing but both are terrible for me.
Thank you for committing on this video , I currently have HG it is so tough on me in so many ways. I have 3 small children already and trying to care for their basic needs and deal with HG is terrible. I have been trying to bring awareness of the seriousness behind having HG but some take it lightly. I understand the risk and that I have to do what’s best for me and I won’t to be here healthy for my children that are here.
Hi Megan, I’m so sorry for your experience. Thank you for your video to let others know. Sending you hugs and healing wishes. Please continue to use your experience to advocate for other women (and babies).
I was 6 weeks 2 days pregnant when i had the medical abortion pill and i went to planned parenthood and they were so professional and not judgy at all. Its something i got to keep it to my self for the rest of my life. one of my cousin had an abortion and let me just tell you my family just talked about what she had done :( im never judging her at all.
Thank you for this. I have an apt tomorrow with my GP to figure out where I can go to get the medical abortion. My bf and I have been together for 2 years. We've lived together all this time. And since mother's day, when i found out, he hasn't been there for me at all. I'm in it alone.
Im so sorry to hear about your experience, I'm sure you must be extremely confused especially considering you have been in a 2-year relationship and living with your significant other your comment what you're explaining about your situation is so extremely similar to mine it's almost identical, however after watching many of these videos I have decided to keep my child many blessings to you
Thank you for opening up, and being so sincere about your experience. If you were my daughter, I would be proud of you for handling this so courageously and at the same time, so superbly in the narrative sense. There is true substance and quality in your reflections and it seems to me as if I felt your memories. Excellent job. Sorry for the experience. Keep putting yourself out here.
Thank you for sharing this, Megan. To the girls reading this: You won't be told what happens in an abortion because they don't want you to know. They don't want you to know what Megan saw: her fully-formed little baby. They don't want you to know that the pain you will experience lasts longer than the average birth. They don't want you to back out of it because that means you aren't giving them all that money. If you find yourself pregnant, and unable to raise a child, please look for any other way to choose life. Your little baby boy or girl will get the chance to live, and you will not go through this traumatic, painful, heartbreaking experience. Don't do it to yourself, or your baby. 💜
@@user-pz9po8nl4l Hi, friend. Had you actually read my comment, you would see that I didn't say anything about a woman having to raise a "whole ass child" or anything about expenses, mostly because pro lifers like myself recognize that not everyone is in the position to be a good parent and that not every parent deserves a child. This, however, is not resolved by murdering the child. This is solved through community, love, and care. (Things pregnancy crisis/care centers specialize in.) Adoption is real and there are twice as many parents waiting on the adoption list as there are babies killed in abortion so there is no argument to say they are "unwanted." I realize you do not value the life of unborn babies but someday you'll grasp the fact that abortion is and always will be a matter of life and death for both the child and the mother. Perhaps you should start by watching this video with a woman's honest experience in abortion. It's traumatizing and horrific, but you advocate for it, so you must come to understand what it is you're fighting for. God bless.
I'm gonna bite my tongue and not say what I wanna say to you because I don't wanna go down to your level of evil...if you haven't been through it then you don't deserve to have an opinion
@@carla-tg1qp of course, of course, because defending innocent human beings - babies, more specifically - is evil. God forbid you get on my level of pro life rather than staying on yours of pro death.
What difference would it make if you saw it or not? You know what you did. You will always remember. Not having seen your baby would not have changed anything. We all make mistakes. Admit it, mourn and find healing
As per now I'm 5 weeks pregnant and my parents have abandoned me bcoz of this. I'm still a student and scholarship is to end in 2023 so I can't have a dead year inorder to have my child. The man responsible for my baby is not interested and I'm not okay financially. Some advice on what to do
thank you for posting this more people need to talk about this!! i’m going for a medical abortion tomorrow but i’m 13 weeks so in getting admitted into a ward and it’s a terrifying feeling but i know irs the right choice and tbf my doctors and nurses have been amazing but i will say they do forget to mention some side effects which are vile
I’m so sorry your experience was awful..I just had an abortion in Cincinnati OH and I had a great experience for the circumstances I was going through. They made me feel very comfortable and were very caring. It is already a traumatic experience and you shouldn’t have gone through it that way. I hope you heal from this traumatic experience. ❤
It sounds like you are not American... I can’t tell accents very good lol.... but I live in North Carolina which is a very southern Baptist Christian area of the United States but that’s neither hear or there...... I had that same waiting room experience..... once in the general lobby room and then in another room where all the girls where paper gowns waiting to be called my first and last name!!!!! It mad me feel shame at a place that claims no judgement..... I felt vulnerable I guess would be the right word to describe it. Thanks for sharing
am crying ryt now am 19 yrs and am pregnant so no ways am going to do abořtion ohh my god it was mistake to feel pregnant pray for Saturday am going to do abortion pill abortion
You're such a strong and gorgeous woman. I'm sorry about your abortion.. I had a very similar experience with my own but not as traumatic as yours. In a 3-4 months, I'll be 17 though and even though I was very sad about having to go through it.. I don't have the money or.. anything to support having a baby. Not even the best to offer it. If I'm going to have kids, I want to be old enough and be able to support it... Though this was me and I'm the one who got my self into this So I'm the one who has to make an decision, but I would rather my self to suffer then my kid... So having an medicial abortion was my best option... i can relate to alot of this, but I never saw my baby... Though I did see the large clots from my baby... And I had alot of painful cramps. It was very awful and painfully. My own experience has been bad enough and I'm still working through it, though I couldn't image how that was for you. Keep going and things will eventually get better. I promise. I'm so glad that I found this! I'm so glad that you had the guts to put this out here on RU-vid. I hope life gives you much love and happiness since this experience. Good luck on everything. Much love and support coming to you!
night Smith I was not going to make a comment but i thought i should say when i was a younger i did not really see or feel the way i do now and i really just did not grasp or know or feel the reality or have the selfless maturity i think i have gained getting older , i really wish the best and healing for everyone who has went through that , i was the type who would of been for it at one time and thinking back cannot even believe i could of had such a thought , may Jesus help reveal himself to our hearts 💕.
I had one also. They told me on the phone it would be a very long wait. But most of what you said sounded typical of what I went through too so I dont think it was just where you went. Except my doctor was very nice and absolutely excellent and I also took 2 pills and took 4 more under the tongue at home the next day and then 2 antibiotics and then had pain pills when I needed them. The vaginal pills that you took take effect a lot faster. They should have told you to go straight home and get comfortable. They told me to plan on staying home all day
Hi I’m Stephanie. I live in Kentucky. Thank you for sharing your story. I know it was extremely difficult. I also had an abortion in October 2018. I was 8 weeks as well. Luckily I had a sister who had gone through this as well and recommended a surgical abortion. I could not imagine the pain you felt and still feel for what you went through. If you can get through it so can I. Your so strong and unfortunately being a women can be hard as hell!! You did the right thing..we did the right thing. Thank you for sharing
Not having seen the baby, would not have made it not happen. Wouldn't it just be better to admit a mistake was made than to try to bury it in denial and evasion? We all make mistakes. Might want to check out Project Rachel when you are ready to heal.
Hello, I am currently going through a medical abortion right now. I completely agree with everything you said about how poorly the nhs informs you. I luckily found out I'm pregnant before my missed period, my gp said its only some cells at the moment so it would be easier, I thought I could get the termination ASAP. I was wrong. The nhs only do abortions from 6 weeks, so they can see the pregnancy on a scan and to rule out ectopic pregnancy (which only has a risk of 0.04% anyway so I have heard). At 6 weeks a baby has a heartbeat and other things that makes it more human like, which is sooo hard. I decided to go privately as some clinics do it before this so I have done it straight away. It's such a hard thing to do but you have to do what is best for you and for the child. I just can't believe it's 2020 and you can't get an immediate abortion. I don't know if I could have done it if I was further along. You are so strong ❤️
I got the pills by post, and done this method at home never having left my house to speak to a medical professional. I found out on a Wednesday afternoon by Friday 1pm I started treatment arrived and step 1 completed by Sunday I was bleeding ! I paid a private clinic a fair bit of money! With bpas and other services you have to jump through so many hoops that you end up further alone and suffering more ! Thank you for sharing your story x x I have to say it was only like a period ! Actually I’ve had more painful periods than this but I was 4 weeks x I’m in the uk ! If
I passed a lot of big clots when I had mine and I looked and stuff. I couldn't see the baby as clearly as you could. I dont think that happens to everyone hun. But you do have contractions and pass clots for a few days after at least. They should have told you that
@@meganrhiann4200 excuse me?! The person I was calling vile was saying the most horrific things about you, calling you a murderer. I was sticking up for you, and you ask me to remove myself?! I was the one who got all of her many comments to you removed. Thanks, thanks a lot. See the tag, who I'm referring to? See her comment is gone? Yeah, I got her nasty comments removed, there were many, and I mean many...
I'm 9 weeks and getting an abortion I've had one at 6 weeks years ago and I told myself never again. But here I am again not in an ideal situation and I have backed out twice and even saw the heartbeat and now I'm terrified of seeing it because I am further along. I was shocked that the nurse as sweet as she was didn't know exactly what the first pill did I had to tell her through my own research. She knew it stopped pregnancy but not that it does by blocking progesterone. Also research what's in them everyone has a right to know what's in them I didn't know testosterone and cortisol was in it. Anyway I agree they should give more info and I hope you're doing okay. Its definitely truamatic hence why I've put it off.
Hey I don’t know if you’ve checked this recently but can you give us an update lake sometime today on how you feel even know how do your portion still contemplating it and I didn’t feel like it would really help just knowing that you have had a question but I didn’t I may be here you know what I mean? Lol but please if you could
Thanks to me taking the time to education myself on abortion an through the eyes of girls who have done it, I WILL NEVER have an abortion!!!! I hope more girls who see these videos come to this conclusion an learn to just not have sex until ur atleast in a half way decent postion to care for a child, I know first hand single parenting is not fun!
Michaela Dodsworth or use protection... obviously the safest way to do something is to not do it but you can’t expect women to just not have sex if they don’t want a baby.
I just gave birth to my daughter on Easter I thank God everyday for my little girl! And look at her and think I don't know how I could have considered such a horrible thing! Just because of some b******* life through my way, that is not her fault! No baby deserves to be ripped apart limb from limb while they're still in their mother's womb! I look at her and think to myself baby I'm so sorry and I'm so happy that you're here no matter what!! My daughter's father now accepts her, although didn't treat me very nicely during the pregnancy.
@@meganrhiann4200 I now have two beautiful daughters one born on Christmas and one born on Easter both born with lots and lots of hair and my second little girl that I just had on Easter has big gray eyes slightly Fair peachy complected and Rosy Cheeks long eyelashes and she's just a perfect little baby doll, and very even-tempered easy going little girl! And she's absolutely amazing! I think abortion is a decision women make out of fear, but it is killing an innocent no matter how you want to word it but I'm just happy this is something I've never done to my children! It was a very hard stressful pregnancy I was sick the entire time I was brutally sick but those things don't matter now because I have my newborn baby in my arms as I type this! Everyone should experience what it's like to give birth just once everyone should have this experience there's nothing in the world that's more precious or more amazing than rocking and holding my infant daughter!
Update.... my experiance wqs the opposite. They were friendly and super nice. Took my oral tablet on friday and vaginal tablets on monday but stayed in hospital for 6 hours on Monday. Was give dyclofenac for pain and felt none of it. The pregnancy passed within 2 hours and then nurses hugged me and spoke to me. It was all discreet and friendly
@@jaymeeleighjx1x Thank you for sharing. May I ask how far along you were? Do you think pain and such depends on how far women get in pregnancy? How do you feel now?
Thank you for sharing, I just found out I'm pregnant and don't want to keep it and I'm having my phone consultation 1st March and it's so hard to find people sharing their experiences. Because it's lockdown they are going to post me pills and I'm going to have to do it all myself at home and I'm living away from friends and family at uni
I feel embarrassed to be born in the internet generation. I’m 29 and folks in my age group are acting promiscuous in the West and the young women from 18 to 29 are aborting left and right.
Oh piss off! She’s been through an incredibly traumatic experience and you think it’s ok to try and shame her and make her feel worse after her being brave enough to share the story. She was in shock and didn’t know what to do. It doesn’t matter what you think or what you would’ve done, it’s about her experience, not about you.
@@squeekachoo oh, right, it's all about her and not the innocent life with a future she destroyed. She literally put herself into this situation and has only herself to put that on.
You are very stupid and the worst person on earth Bury a child?????????!!!! Do you know what trauma she has facing at that point and you come on here to judge her You think her mind isn't judging her enoughhhhhh
@@adeshugaabiodun4468 seriously? I call make a call for saying it's wrong to flush a baby down the toilet and you defend the person doing the flushing? And you're calling ME the worst person in the world? That's a stretch. Perhaps you should reconsider the gravity of this situation. SHE chose to have sex KNOWING that pregnancy is a potential result. Because, you know, that's how babies are made. I'm sure she couldn't have been too shocked. And then once she decides to go through with ending the life of said vulnerable and innocent human baby, she flushes it down the toilet. You're damn right I'm going to judge her. She CHOSE this. The baby is the real victim here. It's future was snuffed out because it was inconvenient for poor mommy to go through with having it.
@@Ryan-rh8rn i’ve been on birth control for the past 4 years and i still managed to get pregnant. 8 weeks today and the only reason i found out is because of the violent nausea,HG. unplanned/unwanted pregnancies are not a CHOICE. judging others that you know nothing about? that’s a choice. so judge if you will but please, don’t be dense.
