Your choice is uniquely yours

Your choice is uniquely yours My partner and I struggled for many years to successfully get pregnant. After many ups and downs and a very difficult and painful miscarriage, and many close calls and scares in pregnancy, we were successful in having a wonderful son. The physical and mental toll of the journey prior to success were too much for us to agree to have a second. Many years later, regardless of how careful we were, I realized I was a week late for my period when I am usually quite regular. I took a test and found out we were pregnant. The toll the first took was not something we could take on and decided to make the decision to abort. The decision was conflicting and hard as we struggled for many years to be successful. After a year of therapy and a lot of internal work, I’m feeling less internal conflict and am much more at peace with our decision and the complexities around it. No story is the same, we are all unique. As is the decision you will make. Just know, you are not alone.
