Abortion pill regret

Baby1218 · 19/08/2023 11:49

I took the first abortion pill and instantly regretted it but was telling my self all day that it was the right thing to do even though In my heart I knew it was not, it has taken me 3 days to actually take it. that night i couldn’t sleep, I ran outside into my garden and had a panic attack and couldn’t believe what I had done to my baby, I rang bpas the next morning ( yesterday) before my children woke up absolutely hysterical, I was told to not take the next lot of pills that morning and that there’s a chance my pregnancy will continue and no harm will be done to the baby if it does continue, but it’s a 50/50 chance basically, I rang up my hospital and they have me in for a scan tonight to see if baby is okay, I’ve had no cramps, no bleeding, no pain or anything so I have been praying everything is okay but not getting my hopes up. I just want to say Anyone that is struggling to take the first pill like me like crying badly and really upset about doing it then don’t do it , I have had an abortion before and I didn’t feel this way and I Knew it was the right thing and still feel that way but not this time I’m absolutely gutted and I know I’ve done this to my self but can anyone who sees this please pray for me the scan is at 6pm tonight and I’m just sick of my life right now hoping for the best and totally alone

@Baby1218 ahhhh yay!!! So happy for you , fantastic news. Xx

Baby1218 · 19/08/2023 19:45

Thank you!

I want to add this incase someone sees it who needs to see this !

if you take the first pill and regret it ( hopefully not ) and you go back or ring up and they say it’s too late please don’t listen ! Some places will say this! I know it’s not always a happy ending but it was for me and others so please just don’t take the second lot of tablets I wish I could get this too as many people as possible as I would have taken them if I hadn’t of rang thinking I had already done the damage ! I’m here for anyone who needs questions answered please just ask x

I wish i knew this month's ago. Inwas 6 weeks and have been in a deep depression ever since. Would 6 weeks been to early in the pregnancy and the first pill would of effected it?

So happy for you, three weeks ago I did the same. But was told to continue with the termination when I rang up in hysterics. Clinic told me three times by three women to take the rest💔 now I am completely broken and depressed. This post has made me feel happy for you, because I should never of listened to them. And so many women have been told the same thing. If stories like this can change so many women’s life’s, then amazing.

Baby1218 · 20/08/2023 07:24

Aw I am so sorry about that I feel that would of been me X but the choice was made for A reason so don’t beat your self up over it lovely, and well I’ve heard success stories at 5 weeks yes but everyone is different, it’s just a hormone blocker, the second lot are what makes you contract and pushes the pregnancy out.

This is why I wrote what I did on the thread ! People are told to take the rest and it’s too late and that’s not fair woman have a choice they should not be forced into taking the rest!! The first tablet doesn’t even effect the fetus so i don’t know why they do this I’m so so angry for you darling stay strong and remember everything happens for a reason xx ❤️

Thank you for your kind message darling 🫶🏻❤️ I am so happy that you are able to continue and live with no regrets. I want to help as many women as I can now, it’s awful how many women suffer this because we have been lied to!💔 i can only now take something from it by helping others, and never making that mistake again xxx

I will probably get banned for writing this. But us women are lied to about abortion,

Forgiveness · 21/08/2023 00:39

I realise this more and more now
they didn’t care for me or many women who desperately need help and guidance

Part of heating is knowing we made a mistake.

Forgiveness · 22/08/2023 16:31

Indeed I agree. Now I’ve learnt so much I am disgusted at not only myself but how many women are in the same situation because they had been misinformed or lied to 💔

Hello, May I ask you if you ate something in particular or relaxed something that helped the pregnancy to continue ?

Coolcat12345 · 09/01/2024 12:01

May we have an update please, in the same situation right now.

Coolcat12345 · 12/01/2024 20:11

This is such a beautiful vulnerable post,
right now I’m 11 weeks took 4 misoprostol tablets vaginally only. and went for a checkup there’s a heartbeat and everything looks good for now. I’m just scared if the pills I took will make it grow with some deformation.

Baby1218 · 30/01/2024 19:47

That is so beautiful you are very lucky i did a deep ultrasound at a special hospital after they seen some complications. My baby has ectopia cordis which opens from the stomach to heart. The ultrasound is so graphic and very sad to look at. They said it’s not the pills I took nothing I ate. It’s just really bad luck. I am so sad at this moment but I just had to update you guys, because you guys were my support system over the past weeks. The survival rate is very low as 3 doctors told me. so I booked a D&C just on the waiting list now.

Baby1218 · 31/01/2024 13:46

I am so very sorry to hear about this, I am sending you love and prayers, yes it’s very rare and nothing you have done ❤️ I hope you can find the strength to move forward and I wish you a healthy next pregnancy, they say the same soul comes back to you until they are born ❤️ im here if u need to chat and I am truly sorry you have to go through this xxx
