What’s a topic or issue about which you’ve changed your mind?
Your view changes. I lost a baby over a decade ago & I could do nothing about it. I was devastated afterwards & it lasted months. Losing a child is much harder than it seems like & I wasn’t given a choice because of the circumstances.
I still think women should have a choice that hasn’t changed. But the emotional toll it took on me afterwards I couldn’t have foreseen. Because losing a child is so frowned upon & the emotional toll that it takes is something my doctor never told me. So I became afraid of getting pregnant again until it was too late. Being afraid to carry a child is devastating. Hence, I didn’t become pregnant again after losing that baby. I’ve always been strong but the loss of that baby changed something in me. I dreamt of being a mother for years & then it was Gone over night. I feel that you’ve no right to judge another woman’s choice.
