i was a sophomore in college when i found out i was pregnant. i took the test on a whim; i had been having cramps for about a week and had a seriously heightened sense of smell, but my period hadn't come.

at 38 yrs old i finally was divorced but not free from my ex. we shared custody of our two sons and i got pregnant after being sexually assaulted by him.

i had an abortion today, and it's the last thing i ever thought i would do. i have two sons who are soon turning 5 and 2, and i co-own and operate a business in the health care industry.

i was 29 years old, in an abusive relationship and using drugs to cope, far away from my friends and family and found out i was pregnant in my second trimester.

finding out: i found out i was pregnant monday, february 9, 2014 at a clinic nearby my work. before giving me a pregnancy test, the doctor assured me i probably was not pregnant.
