Hello I'm 33, 6.5 weeks pregnant. Have a 7 and 9 year old and can't afford to bring another baby into our family as lovely as it would be. My husband and I have decided medical termination is the best way forward. I'm dealing with bpas at the moment, had a call and counselling already and was told to just call if I want to go ahead and they will post it out. I called today and apparently I need another consultation tomorrow afternoon and then they send them. I was really counting on the pills arriving before the weekend I planned to take first one Friday afternoon and second Saturday afternoon when the girls can be looked after by their grandparent. If I can't get them by Friday I don't know what I'll do as the timings will be messed up and I don't want my children to see me suffer.
Is anyone else going through medical abortion in next few days? I'm absolutely petrified - I had a misscarriage once before and it was one of the worst pains I ever felt. I really suffered and don't want to suffer with this.
How long did you take off work to recover afterwards? I'm a TA and on my feet all day I'm not sure I'd be ready to return straight away.
Thanks for any messages or advice I appreciate the company as feeling lonely.
