I bought a seven dollar test from the supermarket, and like a 15 year old virgin male with his first purchase of condoms, I bought a whole bunch of other stuff to disguise my original purchase.
I got home, it was my flat mate's band practice night, so all his boys were over there - so using them as an excuse I decided not to take the test that night.
Subconsciously I must have known I was taking the test that night, because I drank 2 cartons of pineapple, mango and orange juice on top of 3 bottles of water, although it wasn't until the 6th time I needed to pee that I got the guts to pee on the stick.
And there I was, peeing on my hand that was tucked under me, hoping it was getting onto the right part of the test stick. I left the stick on the basin and sat down in the corner of the bathroom looking at my phone to count down the time.
There's really no particular thoughts that go through your head when your waiting, I remember thinking about the invoices that I forgot send from work, that I had to make sure I posted the.....oh god oh god what if I'm pregnant. Fuck fuck fuck, what if I'm pregnant.....I need to do a load of washing tonight to have some clean clothes for tomorrow.
And there it was, 2 lines. I looked at the instructions again - even though I knew what 2 lines meant.
I was fucking pregnant.
Every girl goes through it at some point in their lives, the 'what if', I have had a few of those before - I just figured that like AIDS, that it would never happen to me.
I've known a few girls that have had abortions, I know what they had to go through but for some reason I had it in my head that all I would have to do is walk into the doctors and say 'I need a termination STAT!' and then it would all be sorted, suck it out, go home, eat some ice-cream and put it all behind me.
First of all there's the 'confirmation' where you go to the doctors, their tests are more sophisticated - as in, you don't have to pee all over your hand in order to get a result. They have a cup, classy like.
"OK well, you're definitely pregnant' the doctor said - somewhat cheerily, that just made me feel awful, like I was about to let her down by telling her that I wasn't going to keep it.
There were the usual questions, full name, birth date, does the father know?
The words 'The Father' just hit me like a hammer and I started crying. Up until that point it had been 'my problem' but it wasn't - there was a father, this thing within me had a father. And I didn't want to tell him. For starters we weren't in a real relationship - if you really broke it down we were about 2 steps up from being fuck buddies, and had only been seeing each other for about 4 months.
I left the doctors with appointments to get a blood test ('we test for HIV in your blood as part of government regulation with these types of procedures' the doctor had told me) and an ultrasound to see how far along I was.
The worst is when they ask you why you want a termination. What do you tell them knowing that they've heard it all before? I'm 24 and working full-time, technically I could have this child being old enough and financially stable enough.
I fumbled through my answer, I'm not ready, it wasn't planned, and I don't want it. I don't want it. I don't want it.
I went for my ultrasound; the doctor was a guy and kept making lame jokes. He prepped me with gel on my stomach, he pulled my pants down so much so that the top of my pubic hair was showing, my mother was sitting next to me holding my hand. They push down quite hard. I wasn't expecting that, and when I flinched my mum glared accusingly at the doctor. I loved her for that. When it was finished the doctor handed me a towel and said 'You can wipe the goo off your stomach now' I nearly started giggling - oh if only...
They gave me a copy of the scan it looked like a tiny blob that was 20 mm long. I was eight and half weeks, they give you a letter detailing what's going on in there: no bleeding, no pelvic abnormality, liquor normal. I still wonder what that means. Liquor normal? I found it funny that they referred to the child as a 'gestation sac'. So technical.
I finally got the guts to tell 'The Father' I was so scared that he was going to say it wasn't his that I cried for days before hand in preparation.
He was actually great about it, asked questions, he was so naive he asked how much the abortion would cost - I was sorely tempted to quote him a figure, but abortions are free in New Zealand, I figured he'd find out sooner or later that I had scammed him out of a couple hundred buck so I took the honest route.
Bizarrely I think my pregnancy had turned him on, he was a lot more attentive towards me, sexually as well as emotionally, and nagging (you're having another cigarette?) maybe because it's proof of his virility, I don't know.
I had my last appointment on Friday; the next one is the 'counseling session' I have to have it before I can get an abortion. I go on Monday; I'm interested in seeing what sort of questions they'll ask me. At this point - they could still deny me a termination.
Also my blood tests came back.
I may be pregnant but at least I don't have AIDS.

Now that I've been pregnant, I'm constantly paranoid that I'm somehow going to get pregnant again, even though it's not likely at all.
So every month I have the abortion debate in my head... I don't think I could do it. I'd hate myself forever. The guilt would kill me. Every time I looked at my son or another baby I'd be overwhelmed with guilt.
But then again, I can't even step on a spider.

I shouldn't have been so childish, but Uber brings out the worst in me.
My parents went through Hell trying to decide, I was only 8 but I remember everything. They since told me they went through with it because it was our brother and they could financially make it work, plus my mum is very down to earth and forward thinking.
He (and my mum) spent the 1st year of his life 50 miles away in a hospital while he had continual heart surgery. He is 22 now, and works for a local food company, he went to mainstream school and took the same exams as the other kids.
My folks constantly pushed him, and have the finanial backing to support him forever.
I am not so sure I could be what they were for my brother.
I can imagine a lot of women are against termination until it happens to them. I do know one girl though, I used to work with her several years ago, who would take the morning after pill every few months, and on a few occassions had a chemical abortion like it was routine. I guess she could have been acting like it never bothered her, but she kept doing it so I assume it truly didn't.
I only know that if my baby was disabled, I am so far gone now, if I had terminated it, they would have had to induce a live labour and as it came out, used forceps to crush it's skull. This makes me very sad for the ladies that have to make that choice.

Oh wow, I'm sorry, I sure misread that comment before, then. Thanks for answering my question.
I was curious about the percentage of down's cases that are aborted, and how weighted that decision is to a lot of pregnant women vs the decision of those who choose to abort a non-down's fetus. Despite thinking it would be be a somewhat high number, I was surprised at how high that rate (of down's positive pregnancies are terminated) is according to some studies (in the 90s percentage wise by some sources). It makes me wonder how many women change their minds about abortion once they realize their child will have a disability, as opposed to the women who did not oppose the idea prior to the testing.

I think what upset me, really, was being pregnant, and there, at the tie, being a slight chance I might have to make a very tough decision, I wouldn't have dreamed of posting it on Uber, should I have got rid of it.
Like I say, everything is fine (it better be a girl this time).
I guess, just like whether you are pro or anti, it is all down to choice, and I shouldn't give toee a hrad time for choosing to post, but it upset me.
But toe knows I think she is still my girl whatever she does, and I truly wish her all the best.

No, saccy, I have never had an abortion, I was just making some childish point like 'hey, I've had an abortion, a rel nasty one, give me +2's!' Like I say, childish.
I have two kids, I am pregnant with my third. I never intended to get pregnant the first time, and I was very young at the time, but I never really considered aborting. I had a fairly good job, a nice house, a man, I dunno, I guess I thought that it being 'inconvienient' wasn't a reason.
Having the Down's test recently, being at a risky age and everything, we talked about what would happen 'if' but it was a decision that we couldn't possibly make without being there, if you know what I mean.
Luckily, everything is fine.
What got to me was the comments saying the anti-abortionists were stupid. I don't see how one side can judge the other, everyone is entitled to their views, however wrong we feel they may be.
My brother has Down's, by the way, and I certainly wouldn't think of him as 'less of a person', though he does always hog the TV remote when he comes over, the git.

Orphelia- serious question- didn't you say below you aborted a downs baby? I ask because just now you said 'if i should ever have one.'
I am most certainly not persecuting you in any way for the choice you made, but doesn't that count as an abortion? Was the aborted fetus somehow less of a fetus because of downs? I'm genuinely curious if you are distinguishing between the two because in one case the fetus would have had a disability.

Dude, you're on Ubersite orphelia, 'nuff said on that.
This was going to be another 0, but seriously, you didn't even try to not get pregnant. I don't understand how anyone could have sympathy for you. I don't think you were asking for it either, but still.
Although I suppose if the abortions are free and the contraceptives cost money, perhaps you were making a financial decision. More money for alcohol will make it easier for you to justify random penis impalings in the future, and then you can have even MORE abortions!

Yay! Your abortion post made most heated! Congrats!
I find it funny how many people have spat out remarks similar to 'those people who are anti-abortion are idiots', I can't really see anyone on here who has made any anti abortion remarks, only saying what a sad choice it is.
I have no opinion on abortion, I think I can only truly know how I feel about it should I ever have one.
I realise there are a huge group of extreme pro-life (anti-abortion) people in the States, but however much I may disagree with their views, or think them narrow minded, I respect their views.
I am really surprised by some of the self-rightoeus attitudes on this post, there will always be two sides of opinion, it is human nature.

Theres something really fucked up with society where folk seem to think its OK to have an abortion for no reason other then you dont want to have the kid. There are loads of reasons to have one but if you're in your mid twenties from a supportive family with a secure job and you have an abortion then my sense of right and wrong says thats wrong. Folk can have diffeent moral compasses though.

I don't often comment (because I'm lazy AND no one will respect what I have to say) but I do want to say that I needed to get an abortion (because of how ill I was, treatment for cancer + little bundle of joy doesn't go well together). I don't regret it most of the time. It's been just over a year now since I had the damn thing, and I personally feel no guilt.
It was the baby's life either way, and it was easier on me if I chose to lose it. I just recently found out I am once more pregnant, but this time it's easier.
If you know you're doing the right thing, you'll be fine in the end. If you don't want to have the baby, then don't have the baby. If there is even an inkling of wanting it, be careful where you go from here.

I'm sorry to hear that the pregnancy is unplanned, but I can tell you that having kids is great and one of the best things you can do in life. Not that I think you should chooose one or the other, in Japan, the perform abortions like mole removals there seems to be very little regret or struggle with the decision. I think you can get them when you are 16 here without parental consent...
However, it might be a good idea in the future to practice other than Japanese birth control...

=============================
Well thank God for THAT. There are easier ways to make a few hundred than getting pregnant and scamming money for an abortion, after all.
And I echo what Circe and a few others said about making peace with your decision. Might consider, giving the baby up for adoption is always an option, too. There are plenty of people unable to have children in the world that would adopt a child.

"The worst is when they ask you why you want a termination. What do you tell them knowing that they've heard it all before?"
That's when you should have proclaimed loudly in your best Highlander voice, "BECAUSE THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!"

I assume that in NZ you don't have the retarded pro-life vs. pro-choice mess that we do in the USA.
I read the post and nowhere do I see that you have a flippant attitude.
Here in middle America, pro-lifers are rather vocal (and obnoxious). They freak out when you tell them that since a fetus can't survive outside of the "host," then technically it's a parasite.
(yes yes, I know that after a certain certain point, a fetus can survive if born prematurely)

I don't see what your point is, I offered no opinion as to what she should do or if her choice was correct, I merely suggested some people won't like it - that is their choice, and personally, I think the post cheapens the whole thing.
I am not right, it is just my opinion. And you believe I am still pregnant? Well, I found out the baby was Down's and aborted it with a prostrogladin injection ie I gave birth to it, so be a good boy and go +2 all my posts. Or do I need to make a joke and be lighthearted about it first?

Without judgment on your decision, take some responsibility. It is your fault you are pregnant. It is his fault you are pregnant. You are in control of your own life. This reeks of a victim mentality and I am guessing that is what people hate the most about this post.

Did I say you, orphelia? I was referring to the people who'd call her an idiot if she was gonna keep it, or adopt it, or whatever choice she makes, just because she got pregnant. People's opinions on abortion are their own, and I have no interest in that debate at this point.
I reread my comment and I don't see 'go girl', I see, "whatever happens, I hope you can cope with it, good luck." The +2 was because, hey, it's not Perkman.
Pick a fight with someone else, please.

Erm, time of the month?
I never said you were aiming comments st me, I purely expressed another opinion opposite of your own.
I never said if I agree or not as I clearly said that is the posters choice and nothing to do with me, even though by posting about it she is actively seeking comment.
I also never said you, or anyone else who commented so far put 'go girl', or similar, I only said it was inappropriate as I anticipate someone will make such a flippant comment.
Pick a fight? Erm, if expressing my views is picking a fight, you must have a lot of arguments.
I merely added my comment onto yours just to point out that some of those who say she is 'wrong' are not assholes for having that opinion. Pro or anti abortion is a very individual choice.
Maybe my views look extra aggressive accompanied by a -2 but I don't feel I can rate the post any other way.
The comment as a whole was not at all aimed at you specifically, just anyone wanting to read them.

People may be anit-abortion, that doesn't make them assholes. They just have an opinion you don't agree with.
I -2ed this post because I don't want to know, posting about it on Uber cheapens the whole thing for me, regardless of if I agree with it or not.
I hardly think the 'yeah, you go girl, do what is best for you' attitude is appropriate here, either. For all you know, the poster could frequently have unprotected sex.
And whilst I agree, it is not totally her fault as he could have worn a condom, she could have said no.

I wish you all the best with this and life in general, take the pill, please.
Birth control pills aren't magical pieces of candy that you pop in your mouth to make all your worries go away. For one, they're not always effective, and two, they're hormones and they have side effects.
Hormonal contraception is a responsibility that is only faced by women and it's unfair to assume that a woman is okay with it, just like it's unfair to assume that a guy is okay with decreased sensitivity from condoms. That's why you have an adult conversation with the specific person you're fucking rather than condescend to strangers on the Internet for getting pregnant. Speaking of condescension, what an ignorant dillhole you must be.
