Abortion

[Bethlily2020]

Hi I’m just coming on here to talk and get some advice. So I’ve recently just found out I’m pregnant, around 7 weeks. I already have a 6 month old baby girl so considering abortion. Since I have found out I have done nothing but cry and feel guilty for considering this but I live alone and fear I will not be able to cope with two babies 😩 feel so awful and cruel and never thought this is something I would ever do but it’s just not the right time I’m still with baby’s dad but our relationship isn’t in a good place either especially to bring another baby into it. Feel so scared about the procedures to have an abortion ☹️ Do I go for medical or the surgery? Can someone give me some advice from there own experiences the pain etc. please I just need some peace of mind.

@Bethlily2020 thank you x
I'm about 6 weeks

@Bethlily2020 I'm 7 weeks

How did it go? @AandA13 @Winternights812

Hi @Bethlily2020 so yesterday an hour after my 4 vaginal tablets I started to bleed and passed some clots. I mainly only bled if I moved or stood up. Cramps were sore but bearable. Used a hot water bottle. Bleeding has fizzled out a bit since getting up this morning. I'm 7 weeks and didnt feel I passed much. I'm a bit apprehensive of that but I can only compare it to what I passed at 14 week miscarriage which I know would've been alot more. How are you?

@Bethlily2020 I was 7 weeks on friday there. My bleeding has fizzled out quite a bit since yesterday which I believe is normal. I got myself all worked up for something that my body seemed to manage well. I think it was because I miscarried at 14 weeks so I had something alot more progressed before and I compared it to that which was minimal. Hope you find it ok. Here for a chat and support when you go through it and the lead upto it if you have any worries x

So sorry to hear about your misscarrige can’t imagine how you must of felt! But really pleased to hear that you weren’t in too much pain after taking the pills. I’m at the hospital tomorrow I keep going back n forth on what to do like do I get the pills or the surgey😩 will let you know and I’m sending all my love to you

Hi everyone just a quick update. I went to the hospital again today and took the first pill. It wasn’t a easy decision i found it very upsetting for me and the guilt was just over whelming but I know it was truly the right thing to do. I will take the other pills on Thursday morning. Hoping everything will be as ok as it can be and the pain is bareable. Xx

Hey @Bethlily2020 I'm happy your going forward and as much as it's a hard place to be in you will hopefully look back and think it was all anxiety for nothing. That's how I feel. I'm just so glad the worst is over and it doesnt last long. The worst part was the 12 hours after the misoprostol.
I'm here for a chat if you need to for anything even if you want to PM me. Keep us updated. Thinking of you xx

Hi everyone so today I took the 4 pills. And honestly I’m not putting this on here to scare anyone or give a ‘horror story’ but I need to be honest ! I was getting Cramp about 20’mins after taking the pills and honestly it just went from 0-100 so quick! I was vomiting and shaking so much but after taking some more pain killers it died down but kept on coming back stronger and stronger. I passed a few clots but still haven’t passed the sack almost 7 hours later . Has anyone else took this long for it to pass? I’m feeling much better now just a slight period cramp but know it will get worse when I finally pass the sack😩 thankyou everyone for sharing your experiences with me and taking the time to come on here and talk xx

@Bethlily2020 hey, I’m going for a scan on Wednesday to make sure it’s not ectopic, how did it go on? How are you now it’s been a few days? Hope your okay, sending love

@EmmaJane247 hoping everything goes ok at your scan n yeah I’m totally fine now reading back at what I posted about my experience and think I was being a little dramatic 😂 it was painful tho but so glad the worst part is over . I’m still bleeding but still don’t think I’ve passed the sac! So I think I’m going to have to ring the hospital and see what’s going on xxxx

Oh no, that’s terrible, I hope your okay. Any luck finding anything out?
I have read up and I’m terrified of having a haemorrhage

@EmmaJane247 how did it go for
You? I went to the hospital yesterday but they said I need to wait another week to retake a pregnancy test before I can get scanned. Hoping it is negative, still currently bleeding a lot with cramps so hoping they die down soon😩xxx

Hi,

Just wanted to give you some support. I made the same decision as you 3 years ago and it was the hardest thing I have ever been through. I through myself into my daughter like I said I would and she thrives. I now have a wonderful too. How are you OP? X
