Trigger Warning Abortion

I could really do with some advice/support. I'm booked for my first consultation for a surgical abortion on 10th January. I fell pregnant whilst on the pill. I've always thought I'd never have an abortion as I lost a baby a few years back, but the situation I'm in is far from ideal and the person who would be the father has no doubts about this being what he wants. I know deep down its the right thing to do but I feel so broken about it. I've had alot going on generally recently with a bereavement in the family and feel like this is tipping me over the edge. I'm so emotional, angry, then scared. What I've read online has made me feel even more worried and scared. Does anyone have any more positive experiences on a surgical abortion at 12 weeks plus and how was recovery after? X

How are you feeling about it?

The fact that you've actively been using contraception is a factor in here. Doesn't that ease your mind?

Sorry you're in such a difficult situation OP

Thank You for your kind words. I feel sick and upset about it, along with scared. I'm seeing the father this evening and looking forward to cuddles. He'll be coming with me next week. Kind of wish he'd say the right thing to do would be to keep it although I know its not x
