20
what are your childrens' ages?
5 and 2 in august
did any of those end in early release? (miscarriage, still birth or abortion?) if so, can you share a little about those experience?
Yes 1. I had met a guy and only know him about a week. We slept together and informed him I wasn’t on birth control and to be really careful and he still purposely came in me and I ended up pregnant. I aborted the baby at 6/7 weeks. I knew I couldn’t be tied to this guy in this way. I didn’t want to have his baby. And I already had 2 kids. My youngest wasn’t even a year old yet.
