Wondering if anyone has experienced this and can tell me how it was. I had my consultation today for a surgical abortion which is in a few days, but I need to be able to drive after, however they said they don’t do local anaesthetic, it’s either sedation or nothing at all. Has anyone had a surgical procedure without the local? How was it? I’m really nervous about it but don’t have much other choice. I’m about 8 weeks along.
