What do I tell people?!

I am currently 9 weeks pregnant and I’m having medical abortion today.
The pregnancy was a massive shock, we had decided to come off contraception and see what happened and almost immediately decided it was a bad idea and we weren’t ready but it was too late!
I found out at 7 weeks and have gone back and forth with this decision. I tried to get excited and booked a midwife appointment. I also had a private scan to check I was right with dates. I feel nothing for this pregnancy and am just so down and sad all the time. I’m angry at myself for getting in this situation.

But as I’ve already had a midwife appointment, what do I do? What do I tell them? Will they put it on my medical records. I’m embarrassed even just telling them.

Hey, how did it all go for you? Your abortion clinic can notify your GP on your behalf but if you haven't given them permission to do this, you can just tell them in your own time but you don't have to tell them at all. Lots of people have been in your position and made a decision after a midwife appointment. You have nothing to feel embarrassed about but allow yourself to process your feelings - they won't last forever. Best wishes to you x
