Don’t want to go through with second part of termination!

279 replies

Superscaredx · 30/04/2019 19:21

Posted on here for traffic mainly but I need help.
I am currently 8 weeks pregnant and decided on a termination (please don’t judge, my reasons are completely valid) Today was the first appointment where I took mifepristone. The next appointment is on Thursday and I 100 percent do not want to go. I regret my decision so much and I don’t know what to do. I don’t even know if you can continue with the pregnancy after taking mifepristone, or what it does to the pregnancy! I hope to God it hasn’t effected the baby but I’m worrying so bad. I really want this baby and if I could turn back time I wouldn’t have took the tablet. Anyone with experience on this or works in the industry...please help? Loads of American website say you can have progesterone shots to try and reverse it..but I don’t know anywhere in the UK that would do that. I am so lost.

Please ring 111 and see if you can get an emergency Obs/gynae advice. Abortion clinics may not be the best source of information if the same way that religious ones may not. You need expert medical advice.

Just to also add that I also work in this field and totally agree with the assessment made by @Username321

livinglavidavillanelle · 30/04/2019 21:52

I really wish I had some good advice for you OP. For the record, I think that @Username321 speaks a lot of sense. Absolutely zero judgement here, I hope that everything works out for you..and please seek some medical advice asap.

AllTheWhoresOfMalta · 30/04/2019 21:56

No advice OP but please make sure you talk this through with someone you trust ASAP. I’m concerned that you’re forgetting the valid reasons for needing/wanting the abortion in the first place. Babies are lovely and having children is a genuine honour and wonderful but it’s only wonderful if you’ve got support, money and it’s what you truly want. God knows, when you’ve got all of those things it’s hard enough.

Good luck.

Cryalot2 · 30/04/2019 21:58

Seek medical advice and no one is judging you . Just be kind to yourself.
I wish you well. Flowers

Mifepristone doesn’t cause birth deformities, or abnormalities. It basically removes the hormone needed to sustain a pregnancy so there is the risk you will lose the baby in the next 14 days. There is no going back, but you absolutely can stop now and hope that everything proceeds as you hope.

StripeyChina · 30/04/2019 22:02

I can't add to the discussion but I just want to wish you well OP.x

Hiddenaspie1973 · 30/04/2019 22:08

OP I'm welling up reading this.
I'm so sorry for your situation. It's the worst dilemma.
I wish you all the best

Whatafustercluck · 30/04/2019 22:11

Sorry you're going through this OP. I have nothing useful to add except to say I hope it works out for you. Flowers

OutInTheCountry · 30/04/2019 22:14

I have no advice / expertise either but just wanted to wish you all the best. You made what felt like the right decision at the time, I hope it works out for you.

OP unfortunately the religious nut jobs will always weigh in on a post like yours . Hope you receive the support you need from your family, friends and professionals . Take care of yourself Flowers

RumpoleoftheBaileys · 30/04/2019 22:26

Oh sweetheart, you poor thing.

I can only advise you to take proper medical advice and offer a virtual hand hold.

No judgment, no questions. Make sure whatever happens to access counselling for yourself; this must be awful for you. Take care x

crazycatlady5 · 30/04/2019 22:28

Good luck OP Flowers

brummiesue · 30/04/2019 22:28

Can people please stop suggesting ringing 111 or even worse go to a&e. This is something that needs to be dealt with by a gynaecologist not someone in a call centre. Wait until the morning and ring your abortion provider - and yes I am medical and in the gynae field so do know what im talking about.

ReganSomerset · 30/04/2019 22:28

Oh, sweetie. Big hugs for you. No advice, sadly, but a couple of platitudes for you. Firstly, hindsight is 20/20. You regret your choice now, but you could only base your decision on the information you had at the time. Don't blame yourself for that.
Secondly, if it is meant to be, it will be.

julensaor · 30/04/2019 22:29

Op, I feel so sad for you, there is a tiny chance maybe as with anything in life, but no-one on here can tell you better than your doctor, see someone straightaway.

Justaboy · 30/04/2019 22:35

Thats a very intresting study username321. I think a reasonable conclusion is after the first drug there is an increased liklihood of abortion but if the pregnancy continues then there is a no greater risk of birth abnormalities, that about right?

Would suggest OP that you get to speak to a senior doctor who is more specilist on the subject if you can. I think you can be pressuerd both ways here.

And i hope it goes well for you this is a awfull problem to have been through.

All the best!

PeachesNewName · 30/04/2019 22:37

Good luck OP. It seems there’s a chance everything could be okay from what some experienced posters have said and I really wish you all the best whatever the outcome. You are emotions are bound to be all over the place at the minute, sending you Flowers

martinidry · 30/04/2019 22:50
