Women and men can be affected by an abortion experience. There can be different emotions that arise after an abortion. Some may immediately feel guilty, sad or empty, while others may feel relief that the procedure is over. These emotions may appear immediately after an abortion or gradually over a longer period of time. These feelings may recur or be felt stronger at the time of another abortion, or a normal birth, or on the anniversary of the abortion. Talking with a trusted source before having an abortion can help a woman better understand her decision and the feelings she may experience after the procedure. A Woman’s Choice offers pre- and post-abortion help for both women and men. Call us today to learn more 863-683-2341.
After abortion experiences may include:
- Recurring thoughts about the abortion
- Feelings of regret, guilt, loss, anxiety
- Depression
- Crying episodes
- Disinterest in sex
- Sadness around the anniversary of the abortion or due date
This is in no way a comprehensive list of Post Abortion Stress symptoms, and we recognize that not every woman who has an abortion will experience them. However, for those that do, A Woman’s Choice is here to help.
If you are hurting from a past abortion, A Woman’s Choice in Lakeland offers Post-Abortion Support groups and one-on-one mentoring for both women and men. This program is completely confidential and is often led by those who have had previous abortions, have experienced healing themselves and would love to help you through this process.
To get more information about this program, please give us a call at 863-683-2341 or email info@yourchoicelakeland.com.
