 Reason for the abortion:
I have two children already, and after each birth I suffered from terrible post natal depression. I couldn't eat, sleep, wash or dress myself. I drank heavily and at times endangered the lives of my children. I was too depressed to take the pill regularly. I took the morning after pill, but it didn't work.
How did you feel about your abortion experience?
I delayed going to my GP - I was terrified and kept telling myself that I could not be pregnant. I thought my GP would judge me as I was already a mother, but he was very kind and helpful. Because I'd delayed so long he managed to fast track my abortion.
The procedure was under general anaesthetic, and when I came round I cried - from relief more than anything, but also from grief. I know what I did was the right thing for my family, and I'm so grateful that I could choose to have an abortion.
