Support for medical abortion alone

Hi there,

never posted here before but just wondered if anyone has been in my position before.

I found I was pregnant a month ago and my partner was very unsupportive and didn’t want anything to do with it and I thought it was the best decision to terminate. I found myself unsure about the decision when taking the first tablet at the hospital yesterday but I was so scared about being alone in it all and I am today on my own, having taken the second ones as my partner is busy with work and quite frankly doesn’t seem bothered in supporting me and I feel very alone and foolish.

not sure why I’m posting just was hoping to hear of any similar stories or words of support.

thank you so much ❣️

That sounds really tough. Today may be a really hard day for you in so many ways. Are you getting some rest?

Here for the handhold.
Hope you're spending the day in bed with snacks and junk tv?
As for your partner, one step a time but if he can't support you through this then this might be something to reassess.
I had a Top years ago, narcistic, gaslighting partner. I have the odd pang every now and then about what could have been but knowing that I would have been tied to him forever makes me 100 percent sure it was the right call.

Thank you both for your messages. Honestly was the most traumatic time, was not prepared for the level of pain where I was writhing around like a crazy person and also the real feeling of loneliness and guilt that hit me after but today I am much more positive and have had a comfort day and I am trying to block out the negative feelings for a little bit. It’s a lot to process isn’t it.

really appreciate both of your sweet replies ❤️❤️❤️

I would begin by calling him an ex partner
