Unplanned pregnancy

[Vanilla92]

I've come to hopefully hear some comforting stories from other Mothers who have had early medical abortions. I am Mother to a 3 year old and in the middle of doing extra studies aswel as working ... I am not in a fully committed relationship and had major health scares with my first pregnancy so I feel this is the best thing for both me and my child and I absolutely do not desire to have a child at the moment. But I still have this burning guilt eating me and I think its the tiredness and the waiting😔 I'm also worried about the physical side and what to expect? I'm not surrounded by much support which is another reason for my decision but I just want to get some reassurance that people can feel good again after making such a decision for themselves....😪

Do your support live in a different city or a different country?

No I just have very little support generally speaking

I made this decision, and although it was hard and I felt bad on some level, I absolutely knew it was the right thing for me and my existing child, and knowing that allowed me to accept the decision and move on from in. I hope you can come to terms with the fact that your in the situation and have had to make a difficult choice for the best for you and your child. I hope you get some support in real life too.

As for the physical side, for me it wasn't too bad - hot water bottle and painkillers, and the worst was over in a couple of hours. Take care OP xx

Hi OP,

I'm the otherway around in that I had a medical abortion a few years ago and a planned pregnancy now. It wasn't the right situation for me to be a mother before and I never regretted the decision. The guilt feeling is quite automatic I think, but you are the only person who knows how to make the right decision for you and your child, so trust your feelings on this.

The medical abortion was fine for me, over in a few hours and not really painful, just sad. As PP said - have a hot water bottle and painkillers to hand.

Sending you support. Xx
