Inner power
When feelings of unbridgeable stress arose during the process some women
focused on managing the situation by thinking that hard things cannot be avoided
but have to be lived through. They described a feeling of power coming from
inside themselves and how this helped them through the abortion. Some of the
women also explained how they acted as their own personal coach. Women who
decided to see the fetus after the abortion felt strongly that they had done the right
thing, this was especially pronounced among women who had been worrying
about that moment beforehand.
