MVA tomorrow….very scared

[Sunflower2478]

Hi all,

I’m having an MVA termination tomorrow at 9 weeks and I am terrified.

I feel guilty for making this choice but know it is the right decision for me for many reasons. The last few weeks have been what I can only describe as a living hell, experiencing debilitating pregnancy symptoms that I don’t want to experience and struggling to cope with work due to severe stress. I feel guilty to my children that I haven’t been able to be the mother I normally am to them because of this.

For the past few weeks I’ve drive myself mad with stress googling possible complications and I’m so scared they will perforate my uterus.

Has anyone got any positive experiences of this to make me feel better? I would be so grateful as I am a wreck.

Thanks in advance

Thanks so much for taking the time to reply it has definitely made me feel a bit better. I’m very anxious surrounding anything health related (always have been) so this has just sky rocketed my anxiety. I’m glad it’s tomorrow in a way because I literally feel like I’m going mad and can’t take anymore. I feel nauseated and fearful and completely debilitated. It’s been the worst experience of my life.

I hope you are ok as well with any choices you make moving forward xxx

Hello, I hope everything went well for you.

I had a surgical termination 6 weeks ago at 9 weeks and 2 days. I was the same had crippling pregnancy symptoms that were stopping me functioning and I wasn’t able to take care of my children in the way I usually would.
