I have an abortion booked with BPAS next week in the Bournemouth clinic. I am 7 weeks but decided to choose a surgical as that is what I feel most comfortable with. I have gained a lot of weight over the past 2/3 years and I am weighing in at 18 stone. When I had my consultation, they didn't ask me my height or weight and now I am worrying because I have heard that some women have had to go to a hospital to get it done if they are overweight due to increased risks with anaesthetic etc. I am not having general, just local and sedation. Are there any other ladies that are overweight that have had a surgical abortion in the clinic? Thank you
