Does anyone have any personal stories they can share about medical abortions?

I am having one wednesday due to circumstances beyond my control. I am scared, and I don't know what to expect. I would appreciate any help with this that is relavent. I understand it is wrong so if that's all you are going to say then save your breath. Can someone please tell me what to expect?

As far as the actual procedure goes, it is nothing to worry about. I was scared to death of being put under twilight sedation, but one minute you feel fine, I was talking to the doctor, then the next minute I woke up in the recovery room and it was all over. You usually don't remember anything, I didn't even remember becoming drowsy or anything, and you won't feel a thing. Take someone with you for support, and to help you get home, cause though you'll feel fine you're not supposed to drive. As far as it being 'bad', please don't carry the guilt around with you, it has no benefit to you or your life. Everybody makes mistakes, and if you feel you are doing the right thing then you ARE. I hated myself for getting in that situation in the first place, but I'm not perfect, and I will not let anybody tell me what I did was wrong. Nobody can know unless they've been there, so please don't let others tell you that you should feel bad. It's very easy for others to point the finger-usually because it takes the focus away from their own faults. Surround yourself with people who understand and won't judge-even if that means going to a counselor instead of talking to your friends- because dealing with your feelings about it is important. I know how scary it is, and I promise you'll be fine, I'll be thinking about you :-)

I never thought I would have have had to go through that either, and please if you need to talk or ask more questions or anything, don't hesitate to click on my profile and email me. Let me know how you go :-) Report It

Im very sorry you are going through this.......you'll be in my prayers

i would be happy to help u go to www.you tube abortion now happy dreams

you will be asleep the whole time. afterwards, you will feel relief. good luck.

Its not that its right or wrong - sometimes its the lesser of 2 evils and I understand why people sometimes do it.
What I DONT get is people who use it as a form of birth control (endless abortions rather than using regular birth control and yes I have indeed met someone who has had about 10 of the things, callous cow)
Its not a fantastic process but you'll live through it ok enough - I think maybe you should google the word and see what you come up with. Its a very personal process for women.
You need to make sure that your head is in an ok space afterward, and maybe counselling could be a good thing.

i know how your feeling, im in the same situation!!! theres a web site that you can go to called silentscream.com was just checking it out and it was kinda scary but it gave me an idea of what to expect they have a video you can watch. I hope this helps and know your not alone even tho im sure your feeling it. good luck!!!

im sorry your going through this.basically in a medical abortion they will give you a tablet to swallow.two days later you have to go back.on your second visit,the nurse inserts 2 small tablets inside your vagina.you then have to rest on the bed for an hour.after that you will be advised to walk around.you have to go to the toilet in a pan so they can check to see if the fetus comes out intact.you will bleed as much as a heavy period.you will only be allowed to go home after the fetus has gone.depending on how far pregnant you are you probably wont see the fetus.you might however feel it come out(just feels like a big blood clot).it feel like your having period pain.i know its scary but dont worry you will b fine.

you think abortion is wrong? i disagree with you. Its very right if having a baby will damage your mental health or its unwanted or you can cope with it.

Before 12 weeks, its just a fetus. It doesnt have a heart, brain or feelings. its not wrong to get rid of a fetus, but it can be complicated if it does have a heart.

i would have one, if i got pregnant and i didnt want it. most def. Before 12 weeks you get the abortion pill. They put one if your uterus, and you take one. then 24 hours later it comes out. it would feel like a period pain.

If its after 12 weeks, then its the vacum. It may be scary, but you have not let your mind control you. Dont think much of it. try to stay calm.

If your parents are making you, they know best. having a baby for teens is stressful more as you have school and your whole life ahead of you. It like putting a solid door in front of your life, you cant move on, cos you have that in your way.

I dunno why people disagree, i guess they all think that its alive when its not, only after 24 weeks.

I had a medical abortion. I took RU-486, and was able to be at home when everything passed. They also gave me Vicodin, and Plan-B. I have had two kids already and my pain tolerance is pretty high, I felt fine. I took the pills, and layed down in bed for about two hours, I got up and was already starting to bleed heavily. I bled for about 4-6 weeks, and I felt no physical pain, no vomiting, or anything, It was just like I didn't even take anything. It may be different for everyone depending on your body. I would say just to be careful, and really listen to your body as you know it best. And just another little thing, I would advise against having this procedure, only because of the emotional/psychological effects that it can take on a woman. Not to mention most relationships often do not survive the aftermath of abortion. Sometimes it is worth it to tell your parents and have the child. You will always wonder what that precious baby would have looked like, and it is heart breaking!! I had my first son at age 17, so I know what it is like to not want to tell anyone that you are pregnant!! I strongly advise that you put a lot of thought into this before you go through with anything. This is truly a life altering event either way you choose!
