Pill abortion

Hi I've just found put that I am pregnant two possible dates middle of July and end of July making me roughly 4-5 weeks. Before I even done the test I knew my decision I am not ready financially and mentally. It would be unfair for me to continue this pregnancy, I have my phone consultation on Monday with boas. But haven't told anyone (the father is more a situationship after wine than a relationship) (irresponsible and careless I know but it happens). Some of these threads have some horrific stories which I suspect are from anti-abortionists however am fully aware some may be true. I was just wondering if anyone has been through this recently I am under 10 weeks so hopefully will be going down the pill by post route. Will this be something I can manage on my own ? Tia xx

Really think about it. I thought I knew what I wanted. And now paying the price.
I was so sure I knew abortion was right for me. But it wasn’t. And now I’m severely depressed by the traumatic experience I had.
Im not saying yours will be like that, but I didn’t think mine would be. The pill is also extremely played down, it’s not like period cramps. They are really painful contractions and I saw everything which has now messed me up.
be sure of your choice,
and just think about how you would feel if you wasn’t pregnant anymore.
you think life goes back to normal but for some it really does not.
im signed off work and depressed from it all. And wish I could turn back time.
please be Sure on everything first x

Hey thank you for your advice and information it is really appreciated. Please be in no doubt I have thought about this and if this had come this time next year it would be a completely different story. But it would be really unfair for me to bring a child into my world currently,I've thought about the adoption route as well but with the state of children's services that is also not an option. Thank you again and I hope you can work through your pain xx

I had one 3 months ago, and it was the worst decision I made, I thought I was certain it's what I wanted and now struggling, so please just take your time and make sure it's definitely right for you.

The pill made me violently sick for 12 hour's, if I was awake I was vomiting. The second pill didn't make me sick but the cramps were very painful so take some time off, make sure tou have painkillers, hot water bottle etc

I was so sure I knew what I wanted and said the same thing, if it was a year later I would never have done it. But the panic and fear overpowered that and made me make tbe worst decision of my life. I’m only sharing this as I wish someone had done this for me. Honestly just be 1000% sure is all I would say. Thank you I am trying but it’s very hard x

Hi thanks for your reply, I am certain this is what I want I'm on annual leave the coming week so hopefully I can make it happen then. I get quite severe periods and cramps so I'm hoping I can pull through it. I'm sorry you are regretting your decision and I'm sure when the time is right you will be blessed enough again. Same as me but right now I know this is what I want to do and I know I will not regret it xx

I had a medical abortion when I was ~6 weeks and it was just like a heavy period with more clots than usual. I didn’t get any sickness but did insert the second set of pills vaginally, don’t know if that makes a difference. There are loads of positive posts on here about the process being nowhere near as bad as expected. I wouldn’t have needed anyone there for support physically but it was definitely tough mentally - I wasn’t sure of my decision like you and I already have two kids, so a lot different.

There are quite a few pro-lifers on this forum posting seemingly supportive replies/ horror stories so hopefully you don’t have to experience them. You absolutely do have to be as sure of your decision as you can be, but it sounds like you are so I hope it all goes smoothly for you.

At least you are sure, and confident in your decision. So you will be much more head strong than I was. As much as I was sure, I still had doubts that I could only see afterwards and the panic had settled. Just allow yourself time to recover after and stay home for a few days, if you suffer with heavy periods you’ll be prepared for it well. And thank you; one day we will of course have that blessing when the time is right. I had one when I was 20 and I never looked back, I was glad I made that choice for the life I was to lead and being 34 now it’s different. But sometimes it’s the best choice for our timing and circumstances, which is a great choice to have. Life throws many obstacles and we can only go with what tools we have at the time. I hope the process isn’t tough for you xx
