heyy..my names laura.. i`m from NJ .. i`m 16 years old..i got pregnant when i was 15 1\\2 turning 16 [in july]... i got the abortion at 16 [in october].. The guy that i got pregnant with i was dating for a year and a 1\\2... It was not a planned pregnancy .. although i did think my boyfriend wanted a baby. When i found out i was pregnant i was SHOCKED! i had no idea what to do. I didn\'t know how to tell my mom, or even want to tell my mom because i was scared of how she would react. (she doesn\'t really like my boyfriend to begin with.) I had to miss so many days of school because i was throwing up all the time, felt tired, and dizzy. I told my mom i was just sick and after two weeks she was asking me if i was pregnant but i continued to say no. I was at my boyfriends house one day and my mom called and was asking me and my boyfriend if i was pregnant and so we finally had the guts to tell her over the phone. She was shocked but already had an idea so she told me to go to Rite Aid and get a test to prove it, so we did. I brought it home to her..and she Insisted on getting an abortion. Meanwhile my boyfriend told his mother ,who said that she wouldn\'t want us to kill it because she doesn\'t believe in that and that if my mom kicked me out i could stay with her and my boyfriend. So my mom insisted we go and get the abortion, even though the rest of us were against it. My boyfriend wanted it so badly because he never had a father. So my boyfriend, me and my mom went to the abortion clinic and when i got there i was so scared. I was crying to my boyfriend and he said that it\'s whatever im comfortable with . My mom was pussing me into getting it. So finally they call my name and i go down to the basement. They tell me to wait.. and after 5 minutes of me terrifed down there in the dirty basement they tell me its a mistake its not my turn yet. So i go upstairs hysterical crying , drag my boyfriend out and tell him i can\'t go through with it. My mom comes out and says to come back in and i said no.. she said if i didn\'t do this i was going to have to move out . So i said OK at the time.. and in anger she drives my boyfriend and i to his house. We get there and we talk about it.. i`m terrifed and confused. My mom calls and influences me to go to another abortion clinic farther away in the morning. Being put on the spot i say ok .. not wanting to go.. soo we go anyways b\\c of my mom .. and she practically signs the papers for me.. and i go through with it.. As i saw the picture of the baby on the sonogram i cry and cry but my mom tells me it\'s whats best for me.. So i do it out of anger as well. I was very very nervous.. As i went into the operating room i hug my boyfriend and cry in his arms and he tells me it`s all going to be ok .. and that i dont have to go through with it but i do anyways. They put me to sleep and i wake up laying in this bed with a bunch of other teens and adults who got it as well.. thinking how could we all have done this??? after 30 minutes i get dressed walk out to my mom and boyfriend .. upset and angry at myself...i try to forget about it even though i was in Horrible Pain! As we get back to my house my boyfriend is laying in the bed with my as i cry in his arms .. To this day i think of it everyday...How could i have listened to what other people had to say and not what i wanted?? i know i`m young but i should have taken responsibilty for my actions.. and i cry everytime i think about it.. so if youre every thinking of getting an abortion think twice and DONT DO IT .. youll regret it for the rest of your life... !! Thanks for listenin ..
