I'm a high-school teenager who got pregnant by my boyfriend. Both of us hate the idea of an abortion, but we agreed that if we were to get pregnant that we would have an abortion so we could continue towards our goals. Well, I went to go & get the abortion but I chickened out & left the clinic pregnant. I never told my boyfriend that our baby was still alive. A couple weeks later while he was at a Boy Scout camp, I miscarried our baby. I told him & he forgave me but it caused a major trust issue between us. Now it's been almost a month since the miscarriage but I'm still absolutely miserable. I can't go shopping & see a little girl without bursting into tears. My cousin who has been in my position believes that I might be suffering from Post-Partum Depression because after her abortion, she felt just like I do now. But my boyfriend thinks that it's all just a figment of my imagination. I love both of them but I can't believe that my cousin would misdiagnose me or that the father of my child would blow something this serious off. What should I do? ↓
I agree with your cousin, I had a miscarriage when I was 8 weeks pg. I needed to have a D/C a few days after. All the emotions you are experiencing are common(examples) crying when you least expect it, getting upset seeing babies, on tv, at the mall. I feel its like a roller coster You have ups and downs. its all the hormones left from the pregnancy. It will take time I still have my moments when I cry or get upset when I see a baby. Give yourself some time to heal but don't forget to live your life, I myself have never cried so much in my life. It gets better as hormones go back to normal. If you need to talk I am here for you ↑
