Had a abortion yesterday

Hi all,
After lots of deliberation, tears and anguish, I descided to terminate my pregnancy. It was one of the most difficult decesions I've had to do, but I know it's for the best. I've got 2 small kids and just couldn't face at the moment a third one. We live abroad without any help from family or even friends and thought it wouldn't be fair on any of us, to add another child at this stage (speacially when things with DH are not the best). I definitely want a third (maybe 4th?), but this one came at the wrong time.
Yesterday, I came home relieved and very sure of it all, but today this relief is combined with the fear that I won't be able to get pregnant again. I was reassured by all the doctors I consulted that most chances that it wouldn't, but still would like to hear your stories (if any) about having kids after a termination.
Please, any of you who are against abortion, don't lecture me and those of you who have bad stories to tell, please don't tell me either.
I just need some reasurances please...

Also, tiredandsad, don't feel like you can't face MN. This place will be your rock. Lean on it whenever you need to. IF you need to avoid your x for your own peac of mind, then do so. Take care of yourself.

And good luck with your decision.

I had an abortion, after I had my first. I wasn’t ready to have another baby after just having one. That was 20 years ago and I went on to have to 2 other children.
