MY abortion story

Hello,

I had an abortion two weeks ago upon realizing that am seven weeks pregnant.

Am excited that i will not be demanded to take the obligation of being a mother which am not ready yet (not that i advocate abortion but everyone has a choice. 

I had my own reasons for the idea and i kindly ask no judgment.

I had a feeling i was pregnant since i had missed my periods, normally i have regular cycle. I had an appointment and the doctor confirmed my feeling and i was awry shocked though. He told me it was up to me to decide the way forward. I went home and after two days i went for the blood test results which was just a confirmation of the previous.

I booked an appointment at the abortion clinic and was given the brifing of the procedure and since it was still young pregnancy i was advised to take the pill

Normally according to the rules of the land i had to wait for at least six days before the procedure , just in case you thought otherwise. after the six days days i went back to the clinic and took the first tablet and i had no side effects, went on with the days business as usual (lucky)

The day that followed i went back and inserted 4 tablets in my vagina and waited for at least two hrs before you can stand or sit upright. i was just lying on the bed at the clinic

i had taken ibuprofen before and i did not feel a lot of pain in the rate of 10, it was just 3 not much of a complain like the horror stories i had read about the days before on the net.

After the two hours i started bleeding very big clots and not much pain, i was not afraid though, it was expected

i stayed at the clinic for 5 hours and after that i asked to leave since i had to go to the lab for my experiment, (student). i went to the lab briefly and later went home and rested for the whole night till the following day at 11am.

i was still bleeding but not a lot and was anxious because before i left the clinic the Dr. hadn't confirmed the miscarriage yet. i just hoped i wouldn't have any complications since no one knew about my abortion except my boyfriend who had gone abroad for a week. He had suggested that i wait until he is back but i could not wait then... wanted the thought of being a mother and the imagination that something was growing in me to be over soon.

i was not ready to be a mother yet, my boyfriend whom i plan to dump now was suggesting that we can get married. the thought of being someone's wife killed me.... do not want to get married either.

i bled for six days and spotted for about 6days. i also took care of myself; hygiene and eating well. this promoted healing also i massage the uterus with hot water when i showered to promote the uterus to contract. 

I didn't stop to go to school........ was just fine but at time felt weak particularly the first days after the abortion. i felt i did want to talk to anyone even my boyfriend. He loves me but i don't love him as much and of late i don't at all (am wasting his time, he was a wife soon or later)  and i intend to save his heart by breaking up with him (we have dated for 6months now)

when two weeks were almost over i made a mistake of lifting  the Tv, (heavy) and it made me start to bleed again for two days and it was over. Exactly after two weeks went for the checkup and everything was fine. 

Hope it doesn't happen again and i hope i get ways to save this poor boy's heart. wondering how to do it........

All the best in what you do and decide

its your life and the choices are yours!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Success
