I had a medical abortion 2 days ago. I'm 44 and have three children with my partner. We've been together since our early twenties. Our oldest child is nearly 20.
Two weeks ago, I found out I was pregnant, which was a huge shock!
I decided on the pills by post abortion as I was only 4 weeks and a bit. I took the pills on Friday *by this time I was nearly 7 weeks.... and I'm traumatised, I took them at 5pm after work, thinking it would take 4 hours or so. It took hours, I passed the baby at 2:15am in the morning, continued having pains and had to get up at 6am and go to work and do an 11 hour shift. I came through on my pants at work, it was truly awful. When I got in from work, I cried with relief. What an awful experience. I'm still bleeding and feel incredibly guilty.
I would've kept the baby, if I hadn't have had so much debt, I have to work, I couldn't afford to be on maternity. I feel awful. I think I'm posing on here, just to get if off my chest. Thanks for listening....
