Late medical termination at 17 weeks

[kalsgirl237]

Hi guys. Needing some raw and real advice. I'm 17weeks pregnant next week and I am going for a late medical termination. I just don't know what to expect. Reason for my termination is I found out a little late AND I want a divorce from my husband (we already have a little boy together) I can't bring another child into this world and recently he became abusive which also put me completley off him. I'm absolutely terrified and my heart is broke. That I have to abort at this stage. I've had scans and midwife appointments. I'm just broken. I'm terrified as I don't know what to expect in terms of pain, time, process. He doesn't know I am going through with an abortion and I would have to tell him I miscarried, lying isn't the best but he would not be supportive and things would turn ugly.
Please can someone advice me on a late medical termination- it will be done at the hospital for the second stage and I don't know how I will do it
Thank you x

Hello, so sorry you're going through this.

You need to do what's best for you. I haven't gone through such but in here to offer a listening ear if you want.

Feel free to PM. 🤗

It's not a medical, it's surgical and i imagine you would be under anaesthetic.

Hope you have counselling in place. I'm still heavily grieving my 6 week termination. Just think through properly, and not a knee jerk reaction to arguing with your Husband. It's still your baby too.
