Termination booked today

[PinkyShoes]

I have my termination booked for today. Had my appointment at the start of the week and I have to go back this afternoon to take the first tablet and pick up the rest to take at home. It’s been a really hard decision and I have been struggling with it all. I could have taken the tablet at the start of the week but opted to go back today. I have this weird sense of doom. I don’t know if I’m making the wrong decision or if I am just worried about what’s going to happen. Anyone else in the same position ? Xx

Are you 100% decided on going through with it? What are your reasons?

Pinky, I’m not in your shoes but do understand how tough your decision is. If you are still unsure, do you have time to delay any action? Even for just a week to give yourself time?
There must be reasons you have decided this is right for you, doubts are understandable but give yourself time if you can to talk/think it through.

So sorry you are going through this tough time, do you have support?

We already have a toddler and we are happy with one. Life is nice and easy with one and we have a good balance. We had decided we weren’t going to have another and then I fell pregnant accidentally. Could we cope and afford another baby, yes which is making me feel incredibly selfish for simply not wanting to upset our current lifestyle. I’m also very anxious and worried about coronavirus. It’s not the actual virus as such but the current restrictions etc. I have a bad patch after the birth of my little girl, maybe 6 weeks or so where I was on brink of PND and without my family and friends and getting out to groups I’m not sure I would have managed to climbed back out that dark tunnel.

I found out a month ago. Waited 2 weeks to make the call to clinic and then waited 2 weeks for the appointment. I’m not sure time will help me here. I’m annoyed at myself for getting in this situation.

If your not 100% then don't rush into anything. Have you spoken to the counsellor at the clinic?

No option for counsellor due to coronavirus sadly. Doctor was lovely and we had a long chat. She did tell me that coronavirus and uncertainty was swaying a lot of people and not to feel silly

I went through the same thing as you - and decided against it on the day. Never regretted that choice - do what you feel is right

I took the first pill yesterday and due to take the next lot tomorrow. 48 hours later the hospital said. Woke up to blood and little clots already . Nothing too bad.

I feel ok. A little down and emotional but no regrets as such. I know deep down it wasn’t the right time for our family and we can re asses at the end of the year.

I just want things over and done with for now
