Abortion scan please please help desperate

[tryingtobestronger]

I went for a scan yesterday, assuming Id be having my abortion on Wednesday and Thursday of this week.

My lmp dates suggest im just over 7 weeks.

My scan showed I was around 5. They said I need to go back in two weeks time to redo the scan as they need to see a embryo and all they saw was a pregnancy sac (normal for 5 weeks).
I am so upset. Will I be over 9 weeks when I go back? Nurse said no- I will be around 7 weeks.
What date did your scan go by?
I'm really struggling, have no one to talk to and I'm so confused . Please someone help im begging you.

Some people made it sound like it was going to be a blood bath they must have the worlds lightest periods!

Yes my back started killing about two hours ago, I always feel all my period pains and felt all my labour pains in my back. It's comforting though because to me it means it's working.

That's comforting knowing you didn't have much bleeding though and you're having mild cramps. This has taught me to be very cautious of what I read online because I imagine the majority are scaremongering

So glad your coping well with it. It will all be over soon!
Yay

Hope everything is going good and it's over or almost over for you. X

Bleeding really heavy now :( pains have calmed but the bleeding seems to be a lot worse

If you are still awake get a hot water bottle for any pain and snuggle down in bed. The bleeding will pass soon. Try to rest xx

How did the rest of your night go. Hope your feeling ok? X

Really poorly today I might tell my mum about it today because I feel so ill and bleeding really really bad so I'll feel safer her knowing and she can hopefully mind my little one

Yes you need to tell her if your not feeling well. If your bleeding really heavily might be worth you calling up a women's ward in a hospital to ask them if it's ok. Then again they said as long as it's not heavier than a super heavy period its normal. It's good to have someone just to chat to, who's in the know. I hope you managed to get a bit of rest though and that it settles down and you feel better soon.

Strangely I'm bleeding more this morning than I have since 3 pm on Thursday! Still not at all heavy, but a lot more than the last two days.
Also feeling some period pains still. I'm hoping it's just my body going back to normal, as I feel fine in myself.

It's such an unnatural feeling isn't it.

advice hope you're doing ok x

My mum took me to her friend who's a gynae ugh but she was worried due to how heavy I'm bleeding and it's not her speciality! Got to take it easy And have my iron injections along with supplements but if it continues tomorrow to go to the women's hospital. Glad I told my mum now though so if anything is to happen she's aware!

Thanks btw

So glad that more people know now, especially as your having heavy bleeding. Yes take it easy! You've been through a lot this last few weeks!

Hi advice just checking in to see how you are

Dear Tryingtobeatronger, please do not feel guilty and do not judge yourself!
Firstly, the procedure can be done up to 20 weeks and it does not get more painful the later it is.
Secondly, it's you that has to make the choice, it's your body and your baby, you sound like a very nice and caring person so I believe that if you made this choice it's the right one for you.
3rd- if your husband feels this way, just have the abortion secretly and tell him that you've had a spontaneous miscarriage- it happens all the time, he'll never know. It will be your white lie to keep your family from arguing and resentment the future.
4th- I've had it all- 2 abortion's, one miscarriage (which I then thought was my punishment), and now I have two beautiful children at the right time who I love very much. It will al be ok for you in the end! Do not let anyone tell you what's right and wrong- mums feel it in their hearts.
And last but not least, keep posting because we all care and we all want you to be ok! Your boy needs you to be ok! Big hug!
