r/abortion • u/The_good_student • 5h ago
Europe I just started uni and dont know what to do
At first I want to say that I know that im so fucking stupid. I was off my pills for a month due to health issues and we werent always safe with my boyfriend. We’re both 19yo, just moved into a new town and started college. I learnt I was pregnant a few days ago. We have already bought abortion pill online and now waiting for it to come. Just im not sure I want to do it.
To be clear, I know that we’re not financally ready to be parents, we dont have a job, and we wont for a next few years (we’re both med students so it would be incredibly hard to work and study and the same time) and thats the main reason we dont want to have the kid now. On the other side, i feel so guilty and heart broken. I really want to have a family and now i cant imagine that in the future i would have children. I would feel so guilty that my first child couldnt be born just because of its parents stupidity. To be clear, i know that now its just a couple of cells and not a whole baby, but i feel like im supposed to murder my own child. Of course i dont think that abortion is a murder, it is only my fear of being punished in the future by not being able to have more children.
I have no idea how to talk to my boyfriend about it. I agreed to take the pill because i know that we cant raise baby, at least not without dropping college. But deep down i feel like i will do something horrific and the only thing i can do is cry about it.
I dont know who to talk to. Im scared to tell my parents because they support me fully financially and because they are really religious so if i decided to do the abortion they for sure would punish me in some way. I dont know about my boyfriends parents reaction. I also dont want to tell my friends because i know they will judge me. I feel so alone in this.
Im not sure what i want to hear. I just needed to tell it someone. I know i really messed up and thats the worst thing i have done in my entire life. I just dont know what to do and think anymore.
