Abortion question. People with experience please.?

I had an abortion last year and I spent half the day buckled up in the most unimaginable pain. I didn't get the impression that this was normal, but can't really find out as abortion is not legal in my country. I just want to know if this happens in many cases. Can anyone tell me of their experience?

Judgmental people need not reply.

I live in the Republic of Ireland. Don't worry, I would never have a back street abortion. I went over to England, which is what we have to do here. But yes, I am worried about future conception.

Oh honey - it's not supposed to hurt like that. How do you feel now? What country do you live in?
I am so sorry - I hope you can find a kind and understanding doctor to talk to.
The best of luck.

I'm so sorry. I don't think it's supposed to hurt that much. I know bleeding and cramping are common, but not knee-buckling pain.

You said it's illegal where you are...was the environment sterile? Was the person who performed it a true doctor? I know it was last year and a bit late to be asking this. I'm just worried that he/she might have somehow botched the procedure. I don't want you to have problems conceiving in the future, if that's what you want. Or getting a bad infection.

I hope you're not hurting anymore. And -- unfortunately, you will receive judgmental, hateful comments, much like the second response. Such people are not helpful or kind -- they only want to condemn, not help. Don't listen to them.

I know I'm not a girl, but I know a lot of stuff about womens (and mens) health. Well, if abortions are against the law in your country, you could have had it done unprofessionally, which means you could have gotten an infection form dirty tools, but if you had it done in another country hospital where it was legal, depending on what method they used 1 of 2 things cud of happened. 1. If they inserted a catheder up your vaginal opening and released a chemical called DeoxyPlasmonucleic Acid (DPA) a chemical which is the scientific opposite of DNA, it is meant to chemically shut down any traces of human or animal DNA, your body could have sent out antibodies to fight it because it is an unknown chemical to most people, and 1 in every 10 000 cases the bodie tries to fight it, it caused a reaction and it just caused pain in your nerves. (short version) and 2. If they performed surgery and actually took the fetus out (in solution 1 the fetus just breaks away into nutrients for your bodie, gross I know) then the tools might have been dirty, or you could have ahd a reaction to the type of metal. This often happens to a lot of women, and also I forgot to mention, the pain also can come from your body breaking down the DPA, (every body will, for some it's painful) but anyways, it's normal usually, if it was an infection your body probs fought it off.

imagine what the baby felt.........

well if it wasn't a botched procedure, then it shouldn't have left you in pain. i would go to a doctor and have them check you over first. i'm pretty sure you will be able to concieve again, but don't do it before you get a clean bill of health.

if you sinned once, why get an abortion and sin twice?
