I gave birth to my daughter in 2007, and it was a C-section delivery. In 2008 I got pregnant again and I was young as I was only 20 so I got scared. Since I had recently had a C-section, I thought it’s not possible for me to get pregnant soon. So I had an abortion at this women’s clinic in Midrand.
…
Everything was safe and done well and when I had the abortion, I was with my husband who was supportive. I am the one who wanted the abortion because I couldn’t have another child so soon after my daughter.
…
But now I just can’t let go of the guilt. I’m always counting how old my child would be. Abortion is not an easy decision, and you live with the guilt.
