Hi,
I've been reading this forum the past 2 weeks and could really use some advice.
Before I start, please don't judge me. I'm only 22. Me and my boyfriend have been using protection, but this has somehow happened. I'm almost 6 weeks pregnant. I'm not only unable to afford it financially, I am on a very high dose of antidepressants and am in no position to keep/raise a child. I am frequently having breakdowns - plus I am aware being on antidepressants can affect a foetus. I have also recently become estranged from my family and the only person I have in my life right now is my wonderful boyfriend who has been so supportive. I would never be okay with having a child and giving it up for adoption either - that is just out of the question for me.
I've had my abortion consultation and am due to start my first abortion pill on wednesday, having the second lot on friday. I'm really scared of the pain and effects that will happen afterwards. On top of that, I've had the most horrible morning sickness and it is starting to worry me. My urine was a very dark orange/brown colour this morning as I can't keep anything down. Water makes me vomit, lemonade makes me vomit and juice makes me vomit. I've been eating then trying to drink and have had no avail. I have eaten hula hoops, plain toast, salty foods, etc, I've read a lot of threads on here with advice but nothing I am eating or drinking seems to be working. I've also tried ginger - nothing. I feel so thirsty right now but am just vomiting everything up. It's starting to burn my throat when I'm sick due to stomach acid and hurts quite a lot as I'm bent over being sick a lot. Part of me wants to go to the hospital but am worried they may just thob me off with morning sickness and tell me to drink more. To make matters worse I can't even stomach my antidepressant tablets so I'm feeling very low. I just want this to be over with.
The only thing that has remotely helped the past week was a mcdonalds burger and chips that my boyfriend bought me - I haven't eaten maccies for about 4 years - but he read online the salt would help my stomach (though I know it'll make me more thirsty) and help keep fluid down, which it did. Plus apparently it has an anti vomiting agent in. Whether that's true I don't know, but after eating it was the best I have ever felt. That was 3 days ago though. I know I can't have it everyday. I've lost about 4 pounds in the past few days from hardly eating and drinking.
I know some people may say I just need to suck it up for the next few days before my abortion, but my nurse told me the sickness will or could last even after that because my body will take time to go back to normal. I guess what I'm asking is does anyone have any advice to help the sickness or anything I haven't tried yet to keep me hydrated? I'm dehydrated beyond belief at the moment and don't know what to do, even little sips of water/fizzy drinks are making me vomit. Whenever I stand up I feel dizzy and everything goes black for about 5 - 10 seconds. Can anyone who has been through an abortion before with the pills tell me how it is as well? I'm so worried even more about throwing up and the pain that comes with it because I just feel really weak and tired at the moment.
Thank you for any help, I really really appreciate it.
