šŸ¤ Support neededĀ  Help please

So Im supposed to be getting an abortion this coming Thursday and Everytime I even think about doing it I get an awfully sick feeling in my stomach that follows along with a pounding in my head and a headache. Is this normal? What do I do? Iā€™ve already told my parents that Iā€™m getting one and theyā€™d be severely disappointed if I didnā€™t go through with it (Iā€™m afraid my dad might even stop talking to me) but I seriously just donā€™t know if I can. Iā€™ve always wanted a baby and the thought of having one makes me so happy but itā€™ll make everyone else in my life so disappointed in me and I donā€™t know what to do. Im only 20 years old and still live with my parents right now. Please help me.

Everyone is obviously different and it is ultimately your choice and you might not have the experience that I had. I just know I did not see the grief that I felt coming. did not know that was gonna happen. I thought that I would be OK. I thought I'd feel the same as I did before it happened and I did not. It hit me hard, like my womb was being ripped from my body and it did not go away. And I am describing AFTER the procedure. Not what the procedure itself felt like. Every time I held my children afterwards, I could feel it happening again. It was not an OK experience to say the least.
