I'm pregnant and confused

well that's just it really DS is 8mo and I'm with child again.

Realistically me and dp can't afford or manage another baby so soon. we can't also we have no room should said baby ever arrive.

So now the inevitable, a termination. But I have no idea how far along I could be and am completely confused/overwhelmed at how it could be managed.

How do I even go about getting a termination Blush do I just go see the GP?

I'm glad you finally saw someone helpful and caring after your initial negative experience with the gp.

You sound like you've got it all very clear in your head which is great.

Best wishes Thanks

I had a surgical termination at a BPAS clinic last week. All the staff were friendly and supportive and I couldn't really have asked for a "nicer" experience. Many people don't agree with abortion of course and GP's I think shouldn't let their personal opinions inflict on their professionalism but there you go. Hopefully you'll have nothing but support from here on out. Good luck :)

Had the first tablet today, followed by a horrible trip to the dentist Sad.

can't really describe how I feel right now, feeling like I'm in limbo would be the best way to describe it.

I hope you're okay, look after yourself. The next few weeks might be a bit up and down for you but hopefully you'll feel better in the long run. In limbo is the perfect way to describe it. Keep posting and talking to us if it helps you just to get your feelings out Flowers

Flowers I hope the next few days go ok for you, OP. Be kind to yourself and take things slowly and carefully for the next week or so.

In limbo is a good way to describe it. You've made the right decision for you so look after yourself and allow yourself time to recover.

Thanks

Oh God it's been awful.

came home from the hospital, fell asleep on the sofa woke up and felt something fall in to my underwear Sad. I then had to remove what was pretty obvious but had no idea what to do with the "products" I now had wrapped in toilet paper. I rang the hospital in a panic and they said I can either flush them down the toilet or bring them in for respectful disposal. I chose the latter.

Never again....that was graphic Sad.

I hope you're okay Sad the worst is over now. Do you have someone to sit with you tonight? Flowers

DP had been called to work last minute so it's just me at the moment Sad hoping he can come home tonight, I've never seen DP cry, but he did today, just an awful experience all round.
