I was 16 when I got pregnant. By the time my mother found out I was 13 to 14 weeks pregnant. When we went to the clinic it was like a dream because the women that were in there were laughing and talking like it was normal to get an abortion. But, it wasn't. When I went into the room the nurse told me to put the gown on and lay on the table. Then, she did an ultrasound that she wouldn't let me see. I didn't know if I had twins, a girl, or a boy. I think if she would have let me see it I would have jumped off the table right then and there.

My mother asked me before I went to the clinic not to hate her for making this decision for me, and I told her I didn't hate her. Then after the ultrasound the doctor came in, gave me the gas, and started the procedure. When he started, he was so rough because he thought I was a grown woman, but my auntie had to tell him that I was only 16. During that 5 minute procedure I felt like the worst thing on earth, a disgrace to god, and most of all, a disgrace to myself because I couldn't stand up for myself and say no mama I want to have my baby.

I was 2 weeks away from being 4 months pregnant. I felt my baby move and they just took my baby away from me. That’s the worst feeling in the world. It's been a week since I had my abortion and it hurts everyday to get out of bed and to face the world because I know what I did. I cry every day and night. I can't be around babies or pregnant women because it makes my heart ache. PLEASE don't do it because you'll hate yourself everyday for doing it like me!
