A person from this sub sent me a private message with stories of women who regretted the abortion. I am about to do it, and it really messed me up. She even sent me papers that affirm that women that do it are at higher risks of depression.

Please, could you share stories that the abortion is not followed with devastating regret? Thank you.

Edit: I'm speechless with all the kindness and support I've received from your comments. I have no words in english to express how grateful I am. There's nothing more powerful than women supporting each other like this. THANK YOU!

I used to be an all-day smoker. But now I only smoke like 2 hours before sleeping (trying not to mess with deep sleep, maybe). Sometimes it's just half of a joint. I feel like it's my time of the day for deep reflection and sometimes creative writing.

Do you think this kind of usage is still bad for health and overall well-being in the long term?

Thank you.

Hi. I'm 6 weeks pregnant.

Like almost all of us here, I'm struggling.

I found out 4 days ago and since then life went on a spiral. I'm gonna be absolutely honest and ask you please for non judgemental comments, because I'm already on a critical moment of my mental ans physical health: well, the father is a married man. I'm a PhD student (32yo) and he is a professor (45 yo). We met when I was teaching in the city he is teaching as a public servant. It's the old story that goes for 3 years now...he says he is gonna ask for divorce but it never happens. I blocked him for months but he returned saying that he cannot live without me and promising the divorce again. He left home. We had sex. Now I'm pregnant, but he was getting closer to his wife again (he says it's because we fight a lot, it's always my fault, it's clear as day that it is an emotionally abusive relationship).

The thing is: I'm neurodivergent, I have CPTSD from severe childhood trauma, Hashimoto's, live with my mother and sister in my grandmother's house, the only thing I have is my scholarship for the next 2 years. My dream has always been to have an international career, because I'm also an european citizen. He wants the child and is trying to convince me the best he can, saying he will provide, be present, will take care of the child in case I need to travel. But I'm absolutely nuts, fearing everything so much. I fear believing this man. I fear having a baby from a married man, though he says that for the child he is willing to left home for good. I feel so humiliated and ashamed.

And yesterday I had the ultrasound and it was tough to hear the baby's cardiac frequency...

On the other hand, I live in a contry where abortion is illegal, but I managed to get 6 pills of misoprostol. The person who sold me told me to inject it through the vagina, considering an interval of 2 hours every 2 pills. Is that right? Because everywhere I read people say to swallow and inject, or only swallow.

Please, if you have any advice considering my situation, I would very much appreciate. I'm in desperation. Thank you.
