I just want to rant (TW abortion)

[Peachyscream]

I’m pregnant
I do not want to be. I have contacted bpas and they finally got back to me to say they cannot do the procedure in any form and I have to wait another week for a hospital to MAYBE contact me. How fucking long are they going to drag it on for?!!
I feel SO pregnant and I’m worried it’ll be harder the longer it takes.
I have an illness that has flared up and is completely not responding to treatment-due to the pregnancy
DD1 had d+v for a few days last week. I caught it and now my arsehole is on fire and bleeding. I have to force myself to vomit because otherwise the nausea is obscene. I can’t even look at the toddler playing- the movements make me so nauseous!!
Along with lots of family issues that I can’t even be bothered to get into. I am just so pissed off and tired. And hungry. But don’t want to eat as I’ll just spray it all over the loo anyway.
I also shit-sneezed. Onto the carpet.

I am sorry to hear this.

You are beyond the time limit for a medical abortion are you?

It’s not supposed to be more than 2 weeks from initial appointment to termination.

I would contact your GP and get them to refer you somewhere else.

If you Google NHS / abortion you will get a list of places.

But I would badger your GP

Have you tried Marie stopes?

I’m not over the time limit for a medical, no. It’s just being dragged on because of my medical condition. They’re passing me from pillar to post. The GP is clueless. He sent me to umbrella 🤦🏻‍♀️ I HAVE to have it done in a hospital- I asked bpas and Marie stopes.

So sorry you’re going through this. Can the obstetric/early pregnancy unit at your local hospital help if you contact them directly?

Hmm I hadn’t thought of that- I’ve already been referred to them. They SAID I was referred on Thursday. Yesterday I got a phone call saying I was being referred ‘today’.

And this stomach bug is not budging 😭

Yeah it might be worth contacting them directly just to cut out the middle men and associated faffing. Even if they can’t help you themselves they might be able to suggest alternative places you could try.

Todays update-
The hospital phoned me to say the earliest consultation is 25th October. The procedure would be another 2-3 weeks after that. They said to contact bpas again to explore other options.

Bpas said they have referred me to the hospital- they can’t do anything else for me.

Contacted Marie Stopes they don’t have nhs funding in my area and told me to go to bpas. IF msi can do it (and I doubt it because it has to be a hospital) I’ll then have to travel to another city (4 hour round trip)

How can it be THIS hard.
