Abortion regret

I had a medical abortion about 4 days ago and I truly regret it. I made the wrong decision 100 percent. I want to get pregnant again. The original pregnancy was completely unexpected. All the "reasons" I had to not have the baby were just excuses and could've been sorted out. I think all my anxiety really got the best of me. I am 22 and I think the stigma of being a young mom scared me too. I want to ask my partner about trying to have a baby but I'm scared. I don't know how he will take it. He really wants a child and I'm afraid that he won't wont do it now based on my choices. He was very supportive of the decision but I know he is hurt/emotional. My partner is 30 so I know he thinks his time is running out. We have a pretty good relationship. This is just been a big bump in the road. Should I bring it up to him? Or just leave it alone. Please help. No judgement

I have just gone through a termination a few days ago and I feel absolutely terribly both physically and mentally. Me and my husband made the decision to go through with an abortion as I'm about to return to work, we have a 9 month old and just felt it was way too soon for another. I've struggled mentally whilst being off work (I've always been a career person). However it was a horrible process, I lost so so much blood, I was alone and now I just feel immense guilt feeling like I've just been so selfish and made a mistake. I know its early days but I'm really struggling. My husband shows no emotion so I just feel like I'm on my own. Not sure what the point of this post is but just to reach out to people who might have felt the same.

Hey laurajane,
how are you feeling now? Hope things have gotten better. I’m considering abortion at the moment, as I already have a 15 month old son and feel like it’s too soon. Not sure what to do
