Sterilisation after termination

[Jojodan]

Hi has anyone had an abortion followed by getting sterilised at the same time,I feel so guilty for not wanting this baby but it's the right decision,I have 4 children aged 21,9,6 and 1,2 angel babies,my partner is now classed as disabled and I work part time as a dementia nurse,I was on contraception when I got caught nothing seems to work for me,I don't want to have to go through this horrible recess again so does anyone know the preocess of abortion dolled by getting sterilised as I don't want anymore children,iam happy with the 4 I have and with my life at the minute even tho it's tough it's good,im finding it hard to get over the guilt of wanting to end this pregnancy but it is the right thing to do

I think it sounds like the best thing to do in your circumstances. It would prevent this from happening again, and all the heartache and feelings that you are having right now

I haven't done it myself and not sure if it's an option. But it sounds like it might be worth exploring

You have to do what is right for you and the family you currently have. If it isnt right not only would it be unfair to the family you have but also the the potential extra child you'd be bringing into the world. Also if you definitely dont want more children and have tried to avoid pregnancy through other methods, I dont think being sterilised can be referred to as anything other than a responcible choice... but that aside, again this is up to you and no one else.
Your body, your choice and your rules!
Good luck.

I haven't had that combination of procedures but I just wanted to express sympathy and support. You clearly want to do what is best for your family and you are a good person. No need for guilt, the needs of your existing family outweigh other considerations.

However, I think you are best off just having the abortion as quickly as possible. The sooner it is done the easier it goes, and trying to combine it with another procedure will only cause delays. Get the abortion, obviously get the ball rolling on the permanent solution but don't let it cause a delay by trying to combine it.

There are various different options for permanently removing your capacity to get pregnant and they have different consequences and side effects. Those need to be considered carefully and the best option chosen without the pressure of trying to schedule it to happen with barely weeks notice.
