I had an abortion one week ago. I'm twenty and my husband and I made the decision that we were not ready for a child yet, although we plan on having them in a few years.

He did all the research and insisted I didn't look anything up because of all those pro-life sites that try to scare you out of it with statistics. He found a place in town that had been open since Roe vs Wade and seemed clean. We chose that place because it was on a private street so there would be no fear of protesters, and it was a nice free standing building. It seemed like as ideal a place as any.

They would heavily sedate me because I had my husband there to drive me home and take care of me. I was scared as hell, but the day came and I went. The worst part about it was that I was holding my head high on the belief that my husband would be there holding my hand, but it turns out he wasn't allowed out of the waiting room. I got past that devestation with how kind and supportive the staff was to me. I had an ultrasound, and they didn't show me the monitor or anything horrible like that. They pricked my finger for a blood sample and had me take off my bra before they put in the needle for the IV. That was the worst part of my experience. I hadn't drank or eaten anything that day per their instruction and for the first time in my life, they were unable to find a vein. I got poked six times by three different people. After that was completed, I was taken into a dimly lit room where there was soft music playing, much like you would experience if you were getting a massage. Everything was designed to relax you. I had to get undressed waist down and lay down on a table with a sheet over me. The doctor came in and introduced himself to me and asked if I had any questions. After he did a quick breast exam, he left and the nurse injected the sedation into my IV. I don't remember falling asleep, but I was not awake even when they put my feet in the stirrups. I don't remember a thing, for which I am deeply grateful.

I vaguely remember waking up in a room they put you in after to rest until you can go home. I remember it like a dream though, I was so sedated. They helped me to my car and gave my husband medicine and instructions and said I could eat. I remember waking up sometime on the way home and wanting Sonic. I tried to make a joke about the doctor and terrified my husband cause I said something to the affect that "he did a breast exam cause I have nice boobs and he liked boobs". I was JOKING, nothing inappropriate happened, but I was in a strange frame of mind and trying to make a joke. I ate without tasting my food on the way home and walked into the house without assistance, still feeling very groggy and dizzy. I ate and fell asleep and stayed asleep for most of the day. I could not have asked for a better experience. I didn't want to remember the operation, and I didn't have to.

hey, i had an abortion done about 2 weeks ago. Im sorry to say but the emotional pain after the abortion is way more overwhelming than the physical pain. In general, when I had the procedure done, it did not hurt because I had been put under and I experienced the usual after effects(cramps) of an abortion but it wasnt any different than getting a period. For days after the abortion, I was filled with dissapointment and sorrow for something which I never thought I would actually develop a connection to. I never thought that such a small being inside me could trigger such emotions within me and I felt that I had lost a huge part of me when I had the abortion. I honestly think I was happier pregnant than I am now and I hate having to think about that baby day in and day out. Its the first thing I think about when I wake up, and the last thing I see when I fall asleep. Prior to the abortion, I had an ultrasound done and I saw the little bean right there on the screen. It was just sitting there and it was honestly the freakiest feeling I've ever encountered in my life. Im so upset with myself I cant bear to face life sometimes Crying or Very sad

Dear sami,
abortion is not a choice any woman wants to make but sometimes it is the best choice under the circumstances. i had an abortion about 10 years ago and it was the most difficult descision i have ever made. i do feel i made absolutely the right choice though since i did not feel the man i was with would make a very good father. be true to yourself and use a good form of birth control religiously. make yourself a good future for yourself and for your future children. i hope you never have to go through this rite of passage but a lot of women every week do and they move on. take care of yourself.
wise woman

Ok first off, dont be scared to get an abortion.

ITS BAD. IT HURTS YOU. YOU'LL BE SAD.

f that. it all depends on your beliefs on abortion and what you think is wrong and right.

I got pregnant around this time last year. first thing i did after i saw that positive pregnancy test was called and called abortion clinics.

My doctor dialated me. Felt like preiod cramps for 5 minutes.

Went back the next day, and got the best drugs ive ever had.

I literally laughed through the procedure. not that i think its funny but god damn those drugs are incredible.

went home. couldnt have sex for 3 weeks.

and i was back to normal.

Abortions are safer then labor. And i have had almost no regrets, except for my due date, i was a little teary eyed then. but thats it.

WHAT SUCKS-
-being pregnant for those 8 weeks.
oh god. worse experience of my LIFE. morning sickness, no energy, nausiated 24/7. it was HORRIBLE. but the day after the abortion you gain everything back and its AMAZING!

-the cost.
abortions are pricey.

TAKE MY ADVICE!!!

Ok. First of all, it is a little hard. But don't doubt yourself and you will make a great parent. As far as the dad goes, I'm in the same situation. He wanted me to have an abortion because HE does not want more kids. Sounds like a convenience issue for him. I'm not going to kill my baby for him. So if you don't want to have the baby, then more power to you. I am not a supporter for abortion unless it was rape or incest. If you're 6 weeks already, know that it has a heartbeat. Which means that it is a life that you would be taking. Have the baby and give it up for adoption. I'm a single parent, and it is not as hard as people say. Especially with only one child. You can still work, go to school or whatever you have to do. There is childcare and resources out there. Now as far as him... like I told my baby's dad. Don't be there if you don't want to. He should have thought about not having more kids before he agreed to have unprotected sex. He or no one else have to live with that guilt, only you. And in the long run, regardless of who agreed it was right, you're the only one that has to answer to GOD if you believe in him. Go with your heart though babe. I had decided to get an abortion too. I don't believe in them, but felt I had to because everybody else thought I should. God knows me and my heart. He made it difficult for me to get the money to have it done, and when I did get it and went down there... I cried really really hard before I went in. Got in there and when they did the ultrasound to see how far along I was, they couldn't see it. So they couldn't do the abortion. I took that as a sign and decided to keep the baby. Best of luck to you mama, whatever you do. I hope this gets to you before your appt so you can have some kind of hope. Know that if you do decide to keep it, a way will be made for you. Trust this.
