Nugget

I cried a sigh of relief and fear when I found out I was pregnant with Nugget. I named them Nugget because even though I had decided on an abortion, they were my baby and deserved a name.

My decision on an abortion came fast and in a fog with little direction and guidance on how it would affect me. I had to wait weeks before I could schedule an abortion. The pregnancy was painful but the aftermath of not knowing how to deal with what happens after an abortion and how to talk about it was worse.

Though I don't regret my decision, I often think about Nugget and that's okay.
