I recently found out im pregnant. Can’t be no more than 8 weeks going by dates. I took the morning after pill on the 15th of October and have since found myself in this position.
I am getting an abortion, due to personal reasons.
I have chosen to go with a surgical removal as I don’t think mentally I’ll be able to come home with tablets and pass at home. I have also spoken to the father, who has done nothing but support my decision as they feel the same. I suppose I’m writing this because 1- is like to know if anyone else has been in a similar situation and what to except? I did read the website from the facility, I’ve chosen to go with and although it has been extremely helpful, I’d just like to hear others experiences, before, during and after the procedure.
I don’t feel like this has mentally affected me but it could. I suppose I feel so bad for the dad, as he isn’t a parent but a FWB’s that I’ve been seeing for two plus years. Even though he has been supportive I can’t help but feel like this may take a toll on him, I’ve asked him and he claims he’s fine and he’s here to support me, offered to take time off work to take me to appointments etc but I just can’t help but feel like this is something quite massive. I already have two children, he has none and we’re both 26. I know he wants kids and to settle down in the future but is just enjoying his life whilst he can and I’m the same.
Has anyone had a partner who has shared how they felt during this time?
