i am 16, coming up 17 in 10 days, yesterday i found out that i am 8/9 weeks pregnant, now i have to get an abortion, i am very scared it will hurt as i have to get the vacume abortion, i need some advise or someone to tell me everythings going to be ok, will it hurt? will i have to stay in hospital? please help, i have never been so scared before, and i have not told my parents. thanks.

you wont have to stay at a hospital. it will hurt but you'll take pain meds. also you'll feel very nauseaus.  the most important side effect though is mentally. i had an abortion over 12 years ago and i still think about what if. i've been depressed and felt extreme guilt because you are taking a life so i suggest telling your parents and let them help you on your decision

I went thru exactly what you are going to be going thru at 17 years old.  I was very upset over it for a long time, but honestly it was the best decision I ever made.  I am now 33 years old with a wonderful baby and husband, and I know there would have been no way to raise a baby at 17 years old and give my child a good life.  For the actual abortion part, if you are not going to be sedated take pain killers before hand.  I was awake without pain medicine because I was worried about my parents finding out with getting sedation.  I do not want to lie to you, it does hurt and its sad.  I was very nauseous afterwards and threw up about 1 hour afterwards.  Please talk to someone about it, if not your family, maybe a counseler that you trust.  It took a while for me to accept the abortion, and years later, I still know I did the right thing for myself and the fetus.

Hi Honey! I was asked to come on here! Throughout time there has been teenage mothers, and yes you are 16 BUT you would be 17 when you had the baby! IF you were younger I would DEFINITELY be telling you to get an abortion - as the stereotype and the future is SO upsetting! I have 2 sons - 1 almost 19 and one almost 16! I have told them OVER and OVER and OVER again that IF they get a girl pregnant, they CAN'T do ANYTHING about it till they tell us! We have talked about it and IF our boys do come too us, then we will state too them that we are ready to help them with the baby! And I am SURE your parents have had similar conversations! So do NOT do anything without talking too your parents honey! IF they say "We can't help you and you need to get rid of it etc." Then at least there is your answer! BUT if they are mad - of course - then all of a sudden come around and say "OK we are ticked, but we WILL help with this baby" Then you will know that you can do this! I am PRO CHOICE! BUT I'm not pro - abortion unless that is the ONLY option! So PLEASE don't do anything without some counselling - which the clinic should be offering you! And you telling your parents, too make sure you ARE doing what is right for ALL! So don't be rushed OK hon! And get some advice honey and listen and hear what others have too say - with regards too letting your parents being REALLY mad and then coming to grips with it! Lots of hugs honey! I just want you to do right by everyone!

Hi, I'm 14 weeks pregnant, and I want to have an abortion but not in the clinic. Can anyone tell me if there's still a way to have an abortion?
