Abortion advice and help

1 reply

I'm looking for some advice on a medical abortion I have planned today. I don't know the first date of my last period as they are generally different by a few days each month. I know the exact date I conceived which was the 17th June. I think my period could have been early June? I'm planning on having the medical abortion today and I'm terrified I won't be able to, what are the chances I'm more than 9weeks pregnant? I had a section 6 years ago and also haemorrhaged after the birth of my other son 2 years ago. Is this a reason I may not be able to have a medical abortion today?
There are very specific reasons I can't have this baby which is why I opted for a termination. Any help would be appreciated

Hi hun,
I remember hearing about a doctor who said to a woman thinking about abortion “I’ve met a lot of women who have regretted having an abortion but I’ve never met a woman who has regretted continuing with her pregnancy and having her baby”.
Ive never had an abortion myself but I know of a lot of women whose abortions have haunted them for years after.
I would just encourage you to have a think about how you might feel after the abortion. If your struggling with money etc have a think about adoption or ways that you can get support to continue on with this pregnancy. I heard there are more couples looking to adopt than babies to adopt so your baby would definitely be given to a loving family and then you would know for the rest of your life that you made a lifegiving decision. You wouldnt ever look back and regret it.

Thinking about you and hoping you'll be okay whatever you decide to do.
