"The Biggest Mistake of My Life"

A Piece of Advice: Don’t Do It

How do women feel after an abortion? In the 'Abortion Stories' section, we have gathered authentic accounts from women who have been affected. One such example is this forum post from www.gofeminin.de with the headline "Say Yes to Your Child:"

"I wasn’t in exactly the same situation as you, but something similar… On May 19, 2015, I had an abortion… The biggest mistake of my life. I would do anything to undo it.
You should know one thing—because no one told me: The world will never be the same again.
I thought I would terminate the pregnancy, and everything would be fine. But you will always know that you could have had a child. And now, it is gone.
I’m not saying you shouldn’t do it—no one can make that decision for you. It’s entirely your choice. But I would have never gone through with it if I had known what would come after. And all the reasons I had, all the arguments, now seem so meaningless to me.
I cried non-stop for three days.
That same evening, I realized what I had done.
I couldn’t eat, I couldn’t sleep, and I couldn’t properly care for my 20-month-old daughter… Now I know that it was a mistake—the worst one I have ever made.
I believe women should be informed about the possible consequences. I have given birth to three children, and it wasn’t always easy—it never is with children—but I never regretted it. And now, for various reasons, I let my baby be taken away, thinking that not having to care for a fourth child would make things easier. But I already know that I will regret this for the rest of my life.
Give birth to your child—it is the greatest joy on earth. One thing I know for sure: You will never regret having your baby. But abortion? That, you will certainly regret—especially since you are already having doubts. Of course, you learn to live with it because you have to.
But it will leave scars—visible ones.
That is my experience.
I can only advise you: Don’t do it."
