I spent days reading all of these posts before going ahead with my MA. Let’s just say that they definitely didn’t calm me down at all.
I have two amazing kids and my little one is only eleven months so I knew the time wasn’t right to go ahead with this pregnancy. I contacted BPAS who were incredible from the word go.
Following my in person appointment I took stage one. I felt absolutely no change in myself and carried on working / parenting as normal that day. The next day my husband stayed at home to watch the kids. I inserted four tablets into my vagina 24 hours after step one. I lay on the bed for about an hour, which honestly was bliss after chasing an 11 month around all day. I got up after an hour and made the kids dinner and cleaned the house. About three hours after taking step two I could feel period like cramps. Kids arrived home and life just continued as normal. During the next few hours it was uncomfortable but it didn’t stop me doing anything. I would just take myself to the toilet every 20 mins or so and would pass some blood clots and quite a lot of bleeding. After about six hours the cramps had really calmed down. I had a hot water bottle and went to bed. Today I have been bleeding like a mildly heavy period.
I am so shocked at how ok it was. I was really bracing myself for the worst.
Really hope somsome reads this and it makes them feel better. How lucky are we that we live in a county that we can make these choices for ourselves and it’s paid for.
Really happy to answer anyone’s questions who worried.
be kind to yourself!
