Medical abortion 12 weeks HELP

[Pleasehelp12weeks]

I have to have an abortion. Am already 11+6. My area isn't doing surgical abortions due to COVID-19. I am so so terrified, especially of the pain. Does anyone have any experiences of this or like this? Please help me I'm so scared. Thanks

Anyone?

Sorry. I had one around 4/5 weeks. They will give you pain relief and I recommend a hot water bottle. Maybe speak to them and ask what else can be done to make u more comfortable. Love and hugs xx

@Password17 thank you

@mellowww I'm aware. Hence how scared I am. I'm not mentally well enough to care for a child.

None of your bloody business mellow, why should she have to explain her reasons to you!?

OP I had a termination but at around 6 weeks, it was fine and manageable, a reasonable amount of blood and clots. At 12 weeks I would imagine there is going to be quite a bit more but it's still doable, otherwise they would not have offered this as an option. Are there any other options for surgical? Private maybe?

Having an abortion is your personal choice, I think under the pain isn't terrible, feels like a period but the bleeding can last up to a week, I would recommend paracetamol and hot water bottles/baths and the pain shouldn't be too bad. Good on you for recognising you aren't able to support a child at this time, it's a hard decision to make.

@Cauterize thank you. I'm trying to look into going private but I can't seem to find any private clinics that offer abortion. I'm in Scotland

I had a mc at 11 weeks. Be prepared to have full on contractions and then the passing of the baby in the sac. It's not just a case of a few clots or heavy period at this stage unfortunately. Hope your ok I know it must be a difficult time for you

OP I'm so sorry you have to face this. Really at this stage you should at least be accompanied while you go through if. Can you in any way travel? To England and have it done privately if you can't find anywhere near home?

At this stage I think a non-surgical abortion is making a difficult procedure worse and if you could just be put to sleep and wake up and it's done, that would be a better experience for you. I don't know if travelling is practical? I'd suggest really exhausting the option until you opt for the pills.

Yes at 12 weeks it's going to be more intense. Have you looked at spire healthcare and 132 health wise? Both private but you would be able to opt for surgical.

At 12 weeks I think this is the route I'd be going if at all possible. You might have to travel but I think it would be worth it.

OP, a 12 week medical abortion is completely manageable. PM me if you want to chat. x

I really feel for you, where I am it has to be surgical after 10 weeks.

OP please don't be scared. You will be absolutely fine, I promise 💐

Hi OP,
I found your thread on here. I’m sorry to read what you went through last year. I’m in a similar situation so wondered if you could tell me how you’re doing now and did it go ok?
I’m in a bit of a mess too and my mental health is really suffering.
Thanks so much in advance.

@Seekingsupport I have pm'd you

I had a missed miscarriage at 12 weeks and I think the management was the same as an abortion.

The pain was definitely manageable.

I had a complication of excessive bleeding. Keep an eye on how many pads you are filling and don't hesitate to get help if anything doesn't seem right.
