Post Abortion Stress<\/h2>\n

You may have had an abortion recently or many years ago. As a woman you might have found yourself with little support, in an unsafe situation or relationship, with many conflicting goals, circumstances or values in the face of an unintended pregnancy.<\/p>\n

You are not alone. You may be experiencing reactions you didn\u2019t expect. The words to express what you are feeling may not be coming easily. We are here to help.<\/p>\n

Some women will feel relief after an abortion, while other women experience strong negative reactions. Some of these reactions may be immediate. Some occur many years after the abortion. Experiencing post abortion grief can be related to a woman\u2019s age, length of pregnancy, previous mental health, religious or cultural beliefs, or whether she was pressured into an abortion.<\/p>\n

When the grief is not acknowledged or expressed, you may find yourself in distress. This is called post abortion stress.<\/p>\n
