Hi all
We found out this morning (at 12 weeks pregnant) that our baby has Edwards and is almost certain not to survive. We're utterly devastated, as it took 18 months of TTC to get pregnant for the first time and we were about to start IVF when we got so lucky.
We've decided to opt for a surgical abortion as I don't want my first experience of birth to be this.
I've been given the option of sedation or general. Id prefer GA as id rather it just be over without me being aware of it. But GA carries more risks and can only be done in London (closest one to us). If I opt for sedation it can be done within a mile of home.
Has anyone any experience of sedated abortion? Is it horrific? Will I be alert and remember everything? Losing the pregnancy is traumatic enough without being alert as its dragged out of me
