Reason for the abortion:
I had 3 children already and the 4th pregnancy was an accident. My relationship with my husband wasn't very stable and he felt another baby would jeopardise the family we already had and further destabilise our relationship. Although part of me would've been ok about having another child i was scared about coping and perhaps not having the support from my husband,and even the possibility of my marriage ending if i had continued with the pregnancy.

How did you feel about your abortion experience?
Although not without its emotional difficulties, i don't regret having had an abortion. It was the right decision for my family at the time and now i can look back and see it was the right decision for me too.
