I wanted to share my story, because I am one of the fellow females that read things online and saw a bunch of horror stories...Let me say one thing before I begin in case you get lazy and don't want to read the whole thing! It was not that bad(physically anyways, emotionally is a different story)
May 23, 2013
I am 23 years old and engaged to a wonderful man..a few weeks ago I found out I was pregnant, I was not really freaking out or anything, in fact it was hard to believe I really did not think I could get pregnant. So while this sounds like good news..when I told my finace I could tell that he was not prepared for this...and of course his reaction was saddening..So long story short..he felt like having an abortion was the best idea as we are doing okay financially we do not have enough to even try to raise a child..and to add on I have no insurance and can not get government assistance because he makes too much money.. I won't get into all the reasons why a child is not a good idea right now, even though him and I have been fighting ever since I told him I was fighting for, he against And while I still do not want to be doing this..He is very right and this is not the right time no matter how hard of a decision this is for me.. So down to the more recent events.. About a week ago I had my first apt with Planned parenthood..for the initial apt..than yesterday(5/22/13) I had my apt to take the first pill. (And by the way, my apts actually went really fast..the first one was about an hour or so and the second was like 40 mins) After I took the first pill the dr gave me all the info and the other 4 pills to take the next day as well as prescriptions for nausea and pain..they make you sit in a recovery room for like 15 mins to make sure that the pill stays down..where at the PP I went to the also than gave me 4 Antibiotic pills(I realized that almost every PP does all these things differently) After that I was free to go..Knowing I dont have a high tolerance for pain I got the pain meds as well as the nausea(I have been vomiting like every day for well over a week because of the pregnancy..so honestly I was tired of throwing up! so I was hoping this would help..) I can not honestly tell you what caused the way I was feeling whether it was the pregnancy for the first pill(I had also taken a nausea pill after I had gotten it because the dr said I could) but I also had to work that night and was VERY OUT OF IT. Very tired and not focused at all. Anyways day 2..5/23/13 Really have not been feeling to well, at about 2p.m. I took the pain and nausea pill..than at 3pm I put the 4 pills in my cheeks. Which I left in for 30 mins, I am still freaking a little wondering if they dissolved enough..scared that it won't, I suppose those are normal scares though...So it has been almost an hour since I swallowed the rest of the pills..I have very light cramping..very tired..and nausea. Trying not to throw up bc I want to make sure the pills stay where they need to be although I am sure they are working, my cramps are getting a little heavier, but still not to bad. No bleeding yet. 5 p.m. I am now having more harsh pains, honestly praying it doesn't get worse than this! Sharp pain, but they dont last..Also feel the bleeding..which be the nastiest part...also very nauseous. It is now 8:08pm, I am hoping I got through the worst of it. The pain meds and nausea medicine did not help me..so if I were you I would not even get them maybe just some otc stuff. For about two hours I just laid in bed, the whole time I have had a heating pad on myself. The pain was like period cramps, but worse(but also not unmanageable) I only vomited once thank God, I have not really eaten either, eating has been difficult..So all in all I think the worst is over. I just feel really weak, but other than that I think I am good to go and I have a feeling I will feel good tomorrow. No more morning sickness I hope. I also hope that this helps someone feel a little better :)..I was really against getting an abortion and I am still not okay with it, but with time I will heal and know it was for the best no matter how hard of a decision it was. I also had my sister helping me until my Fiance got home and he did a lot for me. Support...before during and after..and I have a follow up in two weeks..here is to hoping this is over!
Good luck to any lady who has to go through this..
