Have you managed to speak to them at all?

Yeah.

Uh, thankfully I have.

The first three days we hadn't, um, been able to get through.

Um, then we were able to hear from one of our cousins.

A call came through to let us know that they were okay, although it was brief.

Um, and yesterday morning we were able to do a video call and kind of just see how everyone's doing, get their updates.

It was, like, the worst time to find out I was pregnant.

I got pregnant just after my 40th birthday.

Like many people who have abortions, I was already a mom at the time.
