Anyone terminated circa the 12 week mark?

Anyone? In what circumstances, why? Any DC?

I've just found out I'm just over 9 weeks pregnant, initial consultation (first available) at BPAS not until 11 weeks and then actual termination booked for after that date, don't know when. Have also called to book in with midwives to cover all bases. I have 2 DCs and a DH but we're a bit skint, he's erring on the side of abortion I'm erring on the side of keeping the pregnancy.

I feel stupid to have not realised I was pregnant, I didn't even think it was possible.

Hi OP, at 12 weeks the surgical abortion would be given, if you read the Marie Stopes website they explain the process (I had a medical abortion as under 10 weeks).

I aborted as it was an unplanned pregnancy, I could have coped financially (just) but emotionally I would have struggled and my circumstances were not ideal (the dad really didnt want it). However all reasons are valid and it's got to be your choice. I think as you have a couple of weeks to think through your options your decision will become clearer. I found the abortion quite daunting (as you would expect) but it was the right decision for me and all worked out fine.

Thanks for your reply @LittleMermaid1 I'm glad it worked out well for you and was the right decision

I've been told the information re Marie Stopes and gestation by BPAS and was given the choice (all down to where I want to go location-wise essentially) but I'm sticking with the one already booked as they do medical up to 17 weeks. I don't want surgical for a whole heap of reasons (triggering past with miscarriages and operations). So that's a relief, but I'm aware the clock is ticking. Having had 6 pregnancies I know that I will start to feel movement in the next couple of weeks and once that happens I know I won't be able to even pretend to think pragmatically anymore. Feels like such a huge decision and not one I thought I'd be making. More soul-searching needed I think.
