Medical Abortion - Very anxious (ahh)

Hi all, this is my first time on here and I’m looking for support. I’m 23 and having a medical abortion today - I went through NUPAS and because of all my details I was able to do pills through post. I had the first pill on Thursday evening (was very anxious about that but did it!) and now I’m going to have the next lot in a few hours. I’m going to insert them as ive read and heard it could be better??

Emotionally I know it’s the right decision, but physically I’m absolutely petrified. Like what if I bleed to much? How much bleeding is normal? What if I don’t bleed? Is the cramping so intense? Etc etc. I just have visions of me looking like a zombie screaming out in pain. (Dramatic I know)

I do get bad period cramps anyway - but I think the pregnancy symptoms I have now (nauseous, exhaustion, crampy) will just make it all worst.

I struggle with v bad anxiety - and I know when I start to feel something happening I’ll end up panicking. I luckily have a great bf and he will be with me throughout, as well as good support system. But, I don’t know anyone else who’s been through it so I can’t really share or look for them for support - sorry for such a long rant in the early mornings just been worrying myself sick and I’m not sure I can handle it x

Thank you xxxx

Good morning @anxiousflower123 I hate a terrible night. Had the worst upset stomach was almost sick then awake with awful acid heart burn.
Woken today also feeling a bit emotional waiting for the tidal wave to hit. I’m still a little sicky as had severe pregnancy sickness HG.

Hi @Zandasstar7 x

Aw no I am so sorry to hear that - I hope you felt better last night, and feeling okay this morning & that you are looking after yourself?

I’m still bleeding fairly heavy, which I’m a little worried about, but I think it’s normal to still bleed? - but no pain if anything mild cramps, I’ve gone back to work today - but am in and out of tiredness! But have a lot more energy than I have the past 3 weeks which is incredible.

How are you feeling?x
