How to Deal with Cravings During a Period
It's "that" time of the month when every single woman would just like to be left alone so that she could put one her comfy onesie and eat her favorite trash food. When the period is around the corner, our hormones go ballistic, and there is even the sensation that you could eat everything that's been set in front of you.

It's because they are delicious, they uplift our mood, makes us feel satisfied, and they are so damn juicy!

Abortion at 18
It was a normal day when I realised that something wasn’t quite right, I didn’t feel well and hadn’t started my period, what was wrong with me. I didn’t know at that moment. So I decided to take a pregnancy test just to be sure. It came back positive and four to five weeks pregnant. I was in shock, I didn’t know what to do, but I knew that I couldn’t have a child at my age because I was financially unstable and could not afford it. So what were my options? An abortion. That was the only way I would not have this baby. After I and my boyfriend found out, we drove to his mum's house with his sister there as well, she’s a midwife. She gave me all the options I could go for. I decided on having an abortion. I felt wrong inside, I knew it was selfish and unfair, but I didn’t want to put my baby at risk or for it not to have the best upbringing because of money issues.
