I'm getting so much pain, like contractions. Feeling really upset too. Thought it would be easier than this. Anyone else been through it

Been thinking of you today Nora, hope you are resting. Allow yourself some time to grieve x

Hi all, sorry I haven't been on sooner. I've spent most of the day in bed. Still bleeding heavily but I think that's normal.

I really appreciate you all being so supportive. It means a lot.

I know I have no right to feel like this because obviously it was my decision to terminate the pregnancy but I feel really upset that its gone. I feel so guilty.

Dont beat yourself up about the choices you have made. You have done what you had to do and what you felt was right. You will probably still have some pain and heavy bleeding for a while yet. Just take it easy and get yourself strong again. Its early days.

Sweetheart, I am still going through this. Pain was horrific.
Just wanted you to know you can PM any time and we can do it together if you want. xxx

Nora, they are normal feelings after something like this. Its not an easy decision to make. At the end of the day you have lost something and you will grieve for a little while. The bleeding is normal as mentioned before, but you need to take it easy fr a couple of weeks now. x

Definately take it very easy. You have every right to feel upset about this situation. It's an incredibly hard decision to take. Please be kind to yourself now.

You have every right. Honestly, your emotions are totally natural. Don't feel guilty about them.

Hello I went through the same exact thing yesterday.. I was super scared and looking online for groups like this. It was extremely PAINFUL a lot like labor. The bleeding scared me as I was alone and I didn’t know if it was normal. I completely feel and understand exactly how your feeling right now. Hugs from me to you. I feel ALOT better today and I’m hoping the same for you😢❤️.

Hello, sounds similar to what I went though. You are through the worst.

be kind to yourself. Remember why you made this decision. I still sometimes wonder about him/ her but I know we wouldn’t of coped, and the impact for my family, not just me, was too great. I don’t regret it, even if I wish things could of been different (if that makes sense).
