I didn’t think I would feel this way…
It is typical to feel relief immediately after having an abortion. It is also typical for that relief to give way to regret, guilt, grief, depression and anxiety. An abortion experience can even interfere with regular daily life and require professional/medical attention. See “the facts” below.
