terminating friendship over trying to manipulate me out of an abortion
I keep deleting this post because it's just so hard to even talk about. I am 11 weeks postpartum and got a positive pregnancy test at home saturday night. We had sex one time using birth control which has never failed me before.
I posted the "glp1 baby- abortion on monday" post and deleted it because people just started getting judgmental in the comments over my choice to have sex 2.5 months postpartum (really, guys??) My doctor and OB cleared me for glp1 use 8 weeks postpartum. Disagree with it? don't care.
Anyways, I immediately knew I would choose to terminate, do I even have to say why? 2 under 1? Hello? It would also be a high risk pregnancy because of my medical condition.
My husband was shocked but supported me and never tried to sway me. My friend, however?
I confided in one friend who I thought I could trust and she told me to "wait it out" before I choose, fair enough. Then she started texting me overwhelming walls of text that it could be "meant to be" and "how cute, they should share stages in life!" - Uh yeah, there is nothing cute about wrecking my body and mind with another pregnancy. Not to mention I love my baby and I have an autoimmune disorder that attacks my placenta so I don't want to have more kids, I am high risk. I want to give my all to my baby, she is my world.
This is the equivalent of telling a friend to get an ugly bob haircut, it's borderline sabotage to tell someone their life would be so wonderful with 2 under 1!
I go to the hospital to check for residual tissue and she works at the ER I went to, she waltzed in my room without knocking, stands at my bedside and says "so.. how many weeks are you" with a flat tone, looking like an absolute weirdo!!!
WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! who says that to someone who is planning on terminating?
Guess what? I am NOT EVEN PREGNANT! It was a false positive at home because I used the same reusable pee cup from when I was trying to conceive and the HCG hormone was leeched into the rubber plastic. I know it sounds unbelievable, it's possible the test was bad too.
I took a blood test, vaginal ultrasound and 3 tests at the ER - all negative. went home and used a different pee cup, NEGATIVE. I was so happy, I texted my friend and she didn't even seem happy for me. she just asked me "why it was positive then?"
I leave the ER with a unicorn cake pop like it was a prize, and she sees me leaving and texts me a bunch of medical questions. I ignore. I wake up to a text " how are you girlie!"
It made me realize that she does not have my best interest at heart and is one of those frenemies that enjoys when you suffer. I could feel her disappointment that I wasn't pregnant, this isn't 19 kids and counting girlie - this uterus is closed for business.
I originally wanted a second but to be honest I don't think I do anymore, my husband will probably get a vasectomy.
