“Thank you Amy, and Georgia, for your honesty in this podcast.
Termination is a really tricky subject to discuss and is therefore a subject not usually covered despite how common the experience is.
I have never identified so much with a person about mine than I did with Amy. I completely understood her as I had almost identical feelings. She really helped me unpick how I felt about the situation in a way I haven’t understood before, and it was a decade ago!
In my heart my pregnancy felt so right, but once other peoples opinions were onboard it felt like I had a choice to make. Whilst taking responsibility for my decision, I knew i also carried the pain of the experience with me for a long time as I felt I went against my gut. He didn’t want a baby and as it was an accident we got pregnant I felt I couldn’t go through with it.
I have three little children now with a different partner, my husband, and I am very happy. This podcast has been truly cathartic for me and I’d like to thank Amy for her honesty, what an incredible mother she is. I can’t imagine how hard it must have been fighting and researching for answers about her unborn baby pretty much alone.
I have never realised that my termination had this effect on me, like it seemed to have for her, in that my inner voice is stronger, louder and braver xxx”
