Managing Unwanted Pregnancy At Young Age Of 19

Today I want to share my experience with an unwanted pregnancy. I got pregnant at the age of 19. Pregnancy is a major life change. My whole life could be seen walking away from me. I couldn’t imagine the disappointment on the faces of my parents. I was in this alone, my boyfriend had ditched me and I did not want him to be a part of my life anymore. This was a really challenging situation. My whole life was ahead of me and I was stuck with this unwanted pregnancy that threatened it all. I had no idea what I should do. I just wanted to undo all of it. I wished it would all go away when I woke up from sleep and found that it was just a nightmare and nothing else. I wished something would happen and everything would go back to the way it was. But sadly that didn’t happen. My accidental pregnancy was real and I had to deal with it.

This was difficult because I was not ready for it. I knew this is not what I wanted even if everybody accepts it, nobody tries to make fun of me or is embarrassed by me, disappointed in me and even if everybody around me happens to be supporting me in this. I have always been an ambitious person. I wanted to have a successful career. I was looking forward to my college. I always wanted to pursue a career, go to my dream city and achieve all my dreams. Having a baby was not a part of it and nor I never wanted to make any changes there.

It was not just a big responsibility, it was a lifetime duty. I was a child myself I wanted to explore life, enjoy it without being constrained to another human being who is my responsibility and cannot take care of themselves. I wanted to have kids sometime in the future. But this was not the right time for me. I knew I could not possibly handle everything on my own and had to share this with someone. So I confided in my best friend and she was very supportive. She supported my decision and told me to focus on taking care of the situation.

We did our internet research and discovered abortion pills. We found (website) and learned about medication abortion. We decided to buy MTP kit online because it is more convenient and gives more privacy. We explored the website and I found out that it is easy to use and safe for my health. We discovered that all we have to do is follow the instructions carefully.

We decided the day I took Mifepristone and after a day I took Misoprostol pills from the MTP kit abortion pills following the directions. My friend stayed by my side through all this. We also read all the precautions, do’s and don’ts so we were prepared with some pain relief pills, hot water bags and sanitary pads. The heavy bleeding and nausea were troublesome but we were mentally prepared for it. We asked our doubts about bleeding through a chat feature and they were really supportive and answered all our questions patiently. We also had a follow-up appointment and I am glad that the abortion was successful and I didn’t have an infection. It’s all over and I can go ahead with my life as I always wanted. If somebody is out there facing something like what I did. I will tell you to stay strong and that you can manage it.
