I am eighteen years of age and was in an abusive relationship. He was physically and mentally abusing me so I decided it was in both the baby and I's best interest to follow thru with an abortion. I looked up on line before deciding the pill over the actual surgery to see if there were anything that people have really said about this. I couldn't find anything otherwise I would have changed my mind. I went to the clinic and they did an ultresound and sure enough I was 8.2 weeks along. Right before the cutoff. They gave me the in clinic pill and I went home the next day and took it 24 hrs after the first on. I fell asleep with them in my cheeks. I woke up to horrible contractions! I rushed to the bathroom and sat on the toilet. I was puking at the same time I had diarrhea. I couldn't control myself. My contractions were getting worse and worse and the only thing I wanted was to sit in a hot bath. Against their initial wishes I did. 5 minutes after getting settled in the bath out comes the baby then the placenta... My mother grabbed my baby out of the tub as well as the placenta. I was lead to believe I wasn't far enough along to see anything. My baby lied there on a towel with its heart still beating for a minute or so and I lost it. I was so hurt and disappointed in myself it didn't seem real until this experience. 2 weeks later I went back into the clinic.. They did another ultrasound and said there was still the placenta. I burst into tears knowing I could never go through that again. I showed her the picture of the baby that I had delivered. It was a little over an intch long and had fingers but no legs. The doctor told me that I shouldn't have been able to see that and I had to have been over 10 weeks pregnant bc of how formed it was. They gave me a pregnancy test again and it came back negative therefore the size of the blood clot that I still am carrying around is close to the size of an orange.
If you're know you can't even think about raising a child at this point in your life use all precautions beforehand and if its an accident and you have no other way out do the normal abortion. I'm still suffering mental and physical pain from my choice.
oh wow that's harsh. i can't imagine who would want to get an abortion just to have another one right after, pretty intense but i think the percentage is small.
Are you ok now. How are you doing? I didn't nearly have that bad of an experience as you did. But I'm still suffering. Those pills are not the best way out. God bless you!
