Thank you so much for thinking of me, I'll be honest it's probably been one of the most difficult days I've had but am finally feeling a bit more at peace with the situation.
I had my virtual appointment today, the lady told me they'd post the pills out and to expect them Wednesday, which would mean doing to actual termination on Christmas eve. I cried and told her how I cant even keep water down at the moment due to sickess and can barely look after my older two children, I want to spend Christmas eve excited with them. It was agreed that I could drive to collect the pills from the clinic- an hour each way which I did.
It was a strange feeling as once I had them, I started to doubt my decision and waited until my partner came home to talk / cry and weigh up every possible outcome before finally going ahead and taking the first pill at around 5pm this evening. As the hours have passed my sickness has eased and I've managed to hold some food down this evening and have spent the night cuddling my biggest two and feeling so grateful for them.
I really can not understand how they can push ladies up until that 9th week to do a home termination when all the evidence suggests the earlier it's done the safer it is, not to mention the mental strain / side effects that you have to endure. From having the consultation today, I truly can not see why this is something that has to be done specifically by a sexual health nurse instead of a GP, a nurse practitioner at a GP surgery / walk in centre. It was a very straightforward emotionless consultation which just talked me though the procedure/ associated risks all of which I'd read online prior to it.
I really hope that you can resolve this, I don't know what to suggest but maybe ring your GP and see if there is any urgency based on how it is mentally effecting you?
Please keep us updated!
