I found out I was pregnant last week, Mine and boyf stupid fault for taking risks.
I've been in 2 minds over what to do, up until now i thought id have to have it even though me and boyf dont really want it because I was scared I would feel too guilty about having an abortion . and that it would effect me emotiionally too much. However I've been thinking about the effect of having another baby (i already have 11 month old dd) would have on me emotionally and it wouldn't be good in fact i forsee it as a real sturuggle and one if i had the choice would not choose to embark on. Also me and boyf aren't too stable at the moment so I've had to think about having 2 babies as a singlemum and that is something I do not want and dont feel I could cope with.
the fact is if i could choose whether to be pregnant or not i wouldnt be, I recently just got a job, I'm suffering from PND, and this last year has been so hard coping with dd and still is most day but i was starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel as I had recently sought help for PND started ad's then applied for a job got it, and my confidence was slowly growing and i was beginning to get my life back.
I'm sorry this is so long I guess I would like advice or experiences from women who have had an abortion, how did you feel afterwards? how does it affect you now? did you like me although you agree with aborion never think you would be able to have one?
did you have medical or surgical?
I apologise for my grammar and spelling it is the last thing on my mind at the mo im all over the place Sad

Hate to bring this up, but have you seen someone at your clinic or family planning clinic about birth control?

I know a woman can be fitted w/a coil at the same time as surgical abortion, but as you're having a medical one, hopefully your counsellor has also spoken to you about future pregnancy prevention.

Good luck

Wow Me23 that was much quicker wasn't it. All the best with the counselling session tomorrow and with Wednesday.
I know you say you wish it wasn't happening....I do hope you are fully behind your decision but I guess the counsellor will discuss that with you tomorrow.

See if you can get the pill that will work ok with your AD's so you can get some protection??

Will be thinking of you. x

hi epis, no you are right to bring it up, this whole situation could have been prevented if I had been using contraception, and I will be seeing my doctor as soon as it is possible afterwards to discuss the coil or mini pill.
firstnikki->thankyou, I am sure of my decision but I still regret that it has to be this way iyswim?
I will be discussing all my emotions with the cousellor tomorrow.
I decided on the medical because it seemed less 'bad' as it can only be done before 9 weeks. I am 7 weeks now so the earlier the better the way I feel about it.
