Medical abortion via post help

Hi I commented on another thread but could do with some help.
I am due my call from the clinic in the next few days to determine the type of termination I will be allowed. I really would prefer medical by post as have children at home and a full time job, I’m struggling to get the time for the phone appointment!
They kept treading the nurse will need my height and weight. I am a little overweight, no other health issues. Will I have to attend a clinic instead? I will be just 6 weeks by the time I have his appointment? Can anyone help please?

They may want to see you to scan you to confirm the dates/pregnancy but explain your situation and they'll assess the situation from there. They offer the appointments pretty quickly, I just told work I had an emergency medical appointment, they didn't ask.

Thank you @ZZGirl. My main issue is I’m a teacher. We currently have no cover as no budget left. It’s very difficult to take any time off mid term. Such bad timing.

I completely understand, I work in a school too. However, regardless you're going to be phoning in sick when the time comes, the first 24 hours of bleeding, you're not going to want to work through that.
