Well, today was the first day I finally had some results.

Last Monday, the ultrasound revealed that what is inside me is dead. The clinic I was going to originally was trying to coax me into keeping a baby with defects, or whatever craziness they were planning.

I bowed out, and I got a second opinion.

I’ve been in immense pain since I found out I was pregnant last Wednesday. This, by all accounts, has not been a fun experience for me at all. I’m frustrated, tired, depressed, and frankly, I’m mad.

However, today was the day I really sat down with myself and realized how blessed I am to live somewhere that gives women a choice. I was administered the first dose of mifepristone, which is the first step into…expulsion. Tomorrow is going to be pretty brutal, but the sooner I can move on from this nightmare, the happier I will be.

I’m thankful for the women who treated me today, and I’m thankful that they exist to help so many women everyday. Making a choice such as the one I have is not an easy task, but when the factors align and present some solid realities—you have to come to terms with the truth.

I love you all. Please bear with me in this time of chaos. 🖖🏻
