Has anybody had a surgical abortion while overweight?? I am really panicking. I have put on a lot of weight over the past 2/3 years and now I am 5'8 and 18 stone. I have a scan tomorrow and my surgical abortion on the 1st. I am 7 weeks now so will be 8 weeks and 2 days when it happens. I called and spoke to the BPAS midwife this morning as she didn't ask for my weight or height at my consultation 2 weeks ago and she just called me back now and told me that when I have my scan tomorrow at my local clinic, if someone clinical is there then they may be able to check me over and advise but if not, then I will just have to wait and see what the surgeon says on the day. I just said thank you and put the phone down and cried because I feel so deflated and worried. I have already been waiting 5 weeks which has felt like forever as I found out very early and now I have to travel a long way to a clinic next week and they might turn me down on the spot and then I may have to wait even longer for a hospital? I just don't understand why they can't book me in for it to happen in hospital rather than wasting another week because the hospital wait may be extremely long?? Has anyone had a surgical with sedation and local anaesthetic while overweight? Do you think I should try and speak to a manager and make a complaint? I really don't want to sound like I'm moaning because it's amazing that this is all free to me but I am having to travel an hour and 30 mins to the clinic on the 1st, spend money on petrol which I don't really have to possibly be turned down on the day? It is affecting me emotionally and mentally already due to the constant worry and the guilt and now I may have to be told no and then wait weeks and weeks maybe even months to be seen in a hospital and then the pregnancy is going to be further along? I feel so hopeless.
