Hello, I'll try and keep it as short as possible but is quite long winded.
I found out I was pregnant in Sept but already have two children with medical needs/chromosome abnormalities and accepted the best thing for everybody would be to have a termination (wasn't an easy decision at all!).
I went to the clinic and came home with tablets for a medical abortion. Took them & a day later, Oct 3rd, started to feel strange with heart palpitations, weakness etc. An ambulance came and took me to hospital and I spent 3 days in having tests but was eventually discharged with no cause found. At home I was so weak, couldn't move out of bed or off the sofa without going dizzy. A week later I went back for a scan and had to have surgery under GA for RPOC. Stayed in overnight as was very drowsy following. Came home and still didn't feel 100%. I've lost about a stone in weight but I have been eating. It's been nearly 5 weeks since this all started and I'm still not feeling 'normal'. I tried to do some shopping yesterday as it's my partners birthday soon but after a couple of shops I just felt so weak and exhausted and needed to sit down, had a bit of food and felt a little better, went to two more shops then came home. I had to have the copper coil fitted a few days ago as emergency contraception as the condom split during intercourse (first time since beginning of Oct). I've had blood tests since and everything came back normal. Is there anything I can do to help myself get through this 'phase'. For the first 3 weeks I had awful diarrhea (sorry if tmi). I feel awful about what happened but also know I made the right decision. Please no hurtful comments as everything seems hard enough as it is. I just need to get better so I can be the best mum and partner I can be.
