TW - Termination of pregnancy

2 replies

Hey just looking for some advise.

I am currently 4 weeks pregnant (I assume) I have not had a period since the birth of my son 6 months ago, I am a breastfeeding mum, and have fallen pregnant again using protection and breastfeeding which is unfortunate, my clear blue test gave me a 2-3 weeks reading.

We will be terminating the pregnancy, we have been advised medically that my folate levels are too low to support a healthy pregnancy meaning baby would most likely be very disabled along with the fact pregnancy is not encouraged within the first 12 months PP. Also honestly, I just dont want another baby yet, I have 2 children now & I am stretched enough, I have to think of the welfare of my two living children.

I have never had a termination before, I am really scared, my partner is taking 4 days off work to be with me throughout as timeframe wise this is how long it should take doing a medical abortion.

although the decision was made quickly, it has not come easy, we tried for almost a year to get our most recent little boy so to fall so quickly has really been a head wobble, medically, emotionally and physically I am not in a position to support another child and I believe this is fair enough, can someone please explain what will happen to me and how I will feel following on?

I also have a surprise 30th this weekend for my very close friend and am wondering will I be ok to drink alcohol? My decision will not change in regards to termination and my appt is not for another 10 days.

any advice would be much appreciated 🤍

I hope you've gone through the procedure and didn't endure any problems.
I had to terminate my pregnancy 2 weeks a go for different reasons. Today I went for my ultrasound and learnt that the abortion is incomplete. I had mine at 6 weeks. My doctor gave me a second dose of Misoprostol today. Now I hope all the remaining tissue clears out.

Stay strong and follow your heart. You are doing what's right for you and your family. It might be draining mentally and physically..but this too shall pass.
