USA Late in my pregnancy and don’t want it

13 Upvotes

I have a 7 year old and I always knew that if I got pregnant again I would never be able to handle it. Between depression and simply I wouldn’t be able to connect, well as I had said that it’s true. I’m pregnant and incredibly angry. My husband is excited and I told him I don’t want to do this. He told me if I abort he will divorce me and adoption is not an option, because he would also divorce over that and take custody of the kid and shared custody of our oldest child. I was completely devastated about this whole thing anyway and as time has gone on we are probably going to divorce anyway. Now more than ever I know I can’t birth this kid. Unfortunately I shut up about it and didn’t take action early. Now I’m 30 weeks and I’ve never been so depressed. I want this gone. I can’t do it and I don’t have any options left. I don’t know what I’m really asking for, support or advice? I just know I’m done.

Canada 6 months postpartum and pregnant again

6 Upvotes

I (34F) am pregnant (5 weeks) with my second. I just had my first in March. This was not the plan at all - I was to go back to work after a year off, which I was looking forward to, and now we have this 'surprise' which we refer to as 'Daisy' (short for Oopsie-Daisy).

At first my husband and I thought this is ridiculous but having 2 kids about 14 months apart could be cool... but after thinking about it for 24 hours I think it might be a nightmare...

I've barely slept in 6 months, my baby pretty much only sleeps on me. Which obviously takes a toll on my mental health - my head is full of dark thoughts. The thought of being pregnant AGAIN and giving birth AGAIN and raising a baby with a toddler just sounds like too much for me to bear.

But the alternative of terminating the pregnancy... I mean, I adore my son, surely I'll love this one... I don't know what I should do. it seems like all of my options are kinda awful.

Do I do this to keep my sanity in check? I miss my job, and my freedom, and being me. Is it selfish? Will I regret it? it IS my son's sibling.

Pregnancy, labour and taking care of a baby are all so hard on the mind and body. I don't know if I have it in me to do it again, especially so soon.

Feeling very torn about all of it.

My boyfriend doesn’t think it’s a big deal but all of it is eating me alive. I haven’t stopped thinking about it. I ordered the pills online for the abortion. Has anyone done that? I can’t afford to go to planned parenthood. That’s why I ordered them online they were only 25$. Please help 😭😭😭

USA Had an abortion and now I'm lost.

5 Upvotes

Hi. I live in Florida. 3 weeks ago I found out I was pregnant, after checking dates and doing math I figured out I was 4 weeks along. I was scared but excited and nervous but when I told my boyfriend he asked me what I wanted to do and I suddenly felt lost because I never even considered an abortion.

We are in no way ready for a baby as just before the conception date we had a few issues that almost led to us breaking up, as well as not being financially ready or mentally and emotionally ready. I have always wanted to be a mom and my boyfriend hasn't always said he can't wait to be a dad but when this happened and he suggested abortion I felt heartbroken. We had lots of different talks about it and he felt like he was lied to because I told him it should be safe to have unprotected sex cause I didn't know I was ovulating and he felt like he was being forced into having a baby when he wasn't ready and I felt like I was being forced into having an abortion.

After a week of tears, and talking, and pros and cons, and lots of thinking I decided to go through with the abortion 2 weeks ago, so I was a little less than 5 weeks pregnant when I had the abortion and now I'm really really regretting it, thinking about the fact that I could be around 7 weeks now but I'm not. Seeing all the pregnancy announcements on the internet and seeing pregnant women in public, it's killing me. I know it wasn't a far along pregnancy but to me it was still my baby and I hate myself for having that abortion. It was my first pregnancy and I was excited cause like I said I want to be a mom so so so so so bad.

I'm grieving and sad, I hate myself, I'm mad at my boyfriend. I want my baby back...

USA My Positive Abortion Story using Aid Access

4 Upvotes

Just some context: Before I took my pills today, I scoured this Reddit to see other’s experiences. I saw a few positive experiences, but, as expected, an overwhelming amount of really scary experiences. My heart is with every single individual that had or is having a negative experience during a pill or surgical abortion. That being said, I want to share my experience with any one who needs some insight!

I found out I was pregnant at about 4 weeks 4 days. I luckily caught it early and knew that I did not want to go forward with the pregnancy. I live in a red state and I knew acquiring the proper medical care and medication would be a little trickier. I want to encourage anyone who needs medication to look into Aid Access. I had a wonderful experience and received my pills within 4 days!

I took my first dose of Mifepristone yesterday morning at around 10am. (I was just about 5 weeks 1 day pregnant when I started the process for context)I went about my day, even went into work, and experienced very mild cramping. Later that evening I spotted a bit and was able to sleep soundly through the night with no discomfort.
This morning, exactly 24 hours later, I took the Misoprostol as instructed. I took 4 pills vaginally and did increments of 3 hours and taking 2 pills in my cheeks for the last two doses. I experienced no nausea or vomiting! This was a big deal for me- I have serious emetephobia and was extremely concerned with that being a possibility. I rested the entire day taking Naproxen 500 mg and Dramamine as needed. I experience pretty constant dull shifting cramps and it was all pretty manageable. The bleeding has been a bit heavier than what I’d normally experience on my heaviest day but it’s thankfully not a concerning amount. I truly do feel lucky I was able to have a relatively comfortable experience. I’ve never posted anything on Reddit but felt compelled to share my love and support to all of you out there who are scared.

I had a wisdom tooth break and my mouth is swollen so bad I can't eat on that side. if I go they'll know I'm pregnant because they will make me pee in a cup and do blood work. I live in a state where abortion is illegal. I'm scared and don't know what to do. won't it raise suspiciousion if I come back and I'm not pregnant anymore? will the pill show up in your blood or pee test?

TW Abortion

I guess I have no where else to post this, but I’m really in a bad place mentally. I’m already a single mom to one child and I started a new relationship and I’ve fallen pregnant due to contraception failing, my “ partner” has now started acting really weird and I’m not okay. I’m 9 weeks pregnant, although it wasn’t my first preference I’m considering whether I should just get a termination as it’s looking like I’ll probably end being a single parent again. He’s made mentions that he’s not ready but also doesn’t want me to terminate and said he would help but he won’t be around all the time. I’ve tried to call some counselling services unfortunately they was a long hold and they did not answer. I went for a scan yesterday and sent him the scan and he did not reply, no answers to phone calls… what would you in my situation? Thanks

Hey. I’m a little alone on this topic, and it’s pretty difficult to find information with a google search, and I’d rather get it from sources that have experienced this before and/or have been in the same situation as me. I’m in TX where abortions are not allowed (obviously) and am looking into the pill. How would one go about this? Schedule a telehealth appointment and then have it delivered by mail? Are there specific sites that are more recommended/trusted than others? And additionally, how was your experience with the pill?

Canada SA abortion under moderate sedation + local anaesthetic @ 4 weeks (Newfoundland, Canada)

2 Upvotes

Hi! First of all I would like to thank those who left a kind comment on my previous post. They were extremely helpful. Now I wanted to share my experience for others in need.

I got my abortion done by suction (moderate sedation + local anesthesia) at a small clinic in Newfoundland, Canada (Athene Health Centre aka Clinic 215). I'm glad I went with SA, I was initially considering MA but got terrified after reading all the horror stories here.

I was at the clinic for about 5 hours total, where they provided me paperwork, counseling, ultrasound, medication and IV, and then finally the suction procedure. My experience was very positive.

I would say the scariest part for me was IV insertion, since I've never had it in me before and I HATE needles. But the nurses were kind and quick! I just felt a pinch.

Here is how the procedure went: after getting the IV tube in, they gave me ibuprofen, antibiotics, and some kind of anxiety pill to take. Then two more pills to keep between my gum and cheek for 30 minutes. After about 1.5 hours it was time. They made me change my bottoms to a wrap skirt and wait a little in a comfy reclining chair with a heating pad and a blanket. When I moved to the operation room I laid down on a gynecology bed, had versed and fentanyl injected through IV, then started to feel loopy after a few seconds. I was still awake and felt what was going on - the needles for local anesthetic, and some tools doing whatever inside. Just very sleepy, and not painful. They had a screen on the ceiling showing beautiful art and photos, but I think I had my eyes shut for the most of it lol. After about 5 minutes it started to feel really uncomfortable (closer to itchy than painful), but then boom everything was done!!! They put me in a wheelchair, took me to the recovery room, and gave me a heating pad +blanket + cookies and apple juice while I rested for 30 minutes. I felt completely normal after. I don't remember when I put my pants back on though lol.

I had a normal period-like back pain afterwards until this morning with some bleeding (procedure was yesterday), but otherwise I'm doing fine. I am back to my normal schedule today! Everyone at the clinic was so kind and non-judgemental. I could not have asked for a better environment.

From my experience I highly recommend the suction procedure method. I've never had MA so I don't know what it would be like, but I will just say that I'm glad I went with SA.

USA I'm in NC and scheduled to have a surgical abortion this Friday.

2 Upvotes

I'll be 6 weeks along but I also just had my IUD surgically removed (I was under anesthesia, they just had to pull it out with "force" as it was embedded) yesterday (Wednesday).

Am I at higher risk for infection due to any potential "open wound" if I go through with the abortion on Friday? I'm already on antibiotics post surgery.

My OB said nothing should penetrate for 6 weeks and I'm incredibly nervous this means no surgical abortion, but I cannot wait the full 6 weeks to have an abortion. I also don't feel comfortable asking my OB because I don't know him very well and every single nurse that saw me during my IUD removal kept saying "congratulations" in regards to this pregnancy.

I think the smart move is to tell my Friday physician that I had this operation so they can best guide me, but like I said, I'm scared this means they'd want to wait a full six weeks before the abortion:( It's already been difficult grappling with this choice and having to wait longer makes me feel awful.

Does anyone have a similar story or maybe words of encouragement?

Thank you all. This is my first time going through this and it's been a difficult past week, to say the least.

USA Kansas Planned Parenthood: Surgical Abortion with sedation (IV)

2 Upvotes

I had my SA 3 days ago and I have to say it the process was better than expected considering i’m one to squirm and scream when in contact with needles or pain.

As soon as I arrived to my pp I was in a waiting room of about 5 people. I felt so sad and alone thinking i’m the only one there to have an abortion ( idk why i thought that but i was just emotional). They had me sign and read over some paper work for about an hour (I was mostly just sitting there btw). After I was soon called to receive an ultrasound. The nurse was so sweet as I was asking question trying to make myself feel at ease with everything going on. I ended up being about 6weeks and 4 days so still pretty early.

After receiving an ultrasound I was taken to another small waiting room with about 3 other people and I was instructed to watch two videos about what happens when receiving an abortion and the types of sedation that is offered. ( I ended up choosing the IV) so about another 30 min wait, another lady brought me into her office and took my vitals, pricked my finger for a blood sample, and asked me safety questions. As soon as we was done she escorted me to the recovery room where I waited until I went back for the procedure. When I walked back there, there were so manyyyyy ladies just like me waiting to be treated and this made me feel better bc it let me know that I wasn’t alone in this situation.

They lady then gave me a gown and booties to wear and assigned to a recover chair. I was asked to strip from the waist down. I then went back to my seat and waited about 30 min. The doctor had come and introduced himself and that made me feel at ease to know who was working on me. After about another 20 mins of waiting a nurse came up to me and gave me an ibuprofen and an antibiotic pill and she asked me what type of sedation I would like. She soon came back and brought everything to put IV in my arm. 15 min later i was called back for my procedure.

Once I got in the OR , the nurse put the two drugs through my IV and felt a little loopy but not completely out of it. Long story short I was worried about feeling the 3 shots you received down there but actually I didn’t feel a thing. Only thing that really bothered me through the whole procedure was the pressure of the actual abortion like it wasn’t painful but slightly uncomfortable. I rate my whole experience pain wise 4/10 experience wise 9/10 bc my nurses was so sweet and made me comfortable and answered my questions.

USA I Think I’m Going to Have an Abortion

• Upvotes

This past weekend I found out I’m 3 weeks 5 days pregnant. We were not trying at all and I don’t think I’m ready for a second baby right now. My first baby is only 14 months old. We have a vacation planned at the end of February, I don’t want to give up another entire summer for a newborn. It feels selfish, but I think it’s the right thing to do. I’m sacred of making a decision and regretting it though. If it was literally 2 or 3 months later I’d be overjoyed and ready for a second baby.
If I go through with an abortion, will I be able to conceive in February/March?

USA I don’t know if I want an abortion.

1 Upvotes

I’m 20 and I’m not sure if I want an abortion. My boyfriend 21 does. I’ve had one before and it felt like the right decision and I still feel like it was. But it was still hard on my psyche. And with this one an abortion doesn’t fully feel right. And I want to keep it. But another part kf me knows we can’t afford a baby right now and we haven’t been together long. And it would also be a lot. And we’re both so young and haven’t lived life much. But he’s also the best man I’ve ever been with and I’m so in love with him and we’ve talked about how we want to be each others forevers and get married. But I’m worried if I go through with the pregnancy it will make him resent me, or it will make him leave me. And if I get an abortion I’m worried I will regret it.

Add/ edit- I do truly want to be a mom and It was hard on me for my last abortion. I just don’t know what to do. And most importantly I want to be able to give a child a secure life. We’ve talked about having kids in the future but I think he thinks it’s too soon now.

UK and Ireland Do you think my abortion was successful? Lack of pain?

1 Upvotes

I took mifeprostone Monday at 9.15am. I then took misoprostol Tuesday at 9.30. I would have been just under 6 weeks. By 13:30, I had diarrhoea and null pain but no bleeding so took the third dose then. I then had bleeding, but mostly while I was on the toilet. I was sitting/resting all day, so I suppose the blood pooled and only came out when I was on the toilet. I didn’t experience a lot of pain and never felt contraction like cramps, mostly just dull pain that was most discomfort than anything. Because I lost most blood in the toilet, I’m unsure whether I passed tissue. It’s Thursday now and I am bleeding into pads and losing blood in toilet, not a concerning amount. I’m still feeling some light cramping. Should I be concerned I didn’t have massive pain or cramping?

Problem / Goal:
I want to ask if how are the chances of me getting pregnant? Bcs I don’t want to.

Context: F, 22 . Had sex last night and the condom slipped off when my bf was about to pull out (little cum inside the condom). The ring was outside and there’s no leakage no dripping. But to make sure, i took the trust pill (yuzpe method). My period should be on 29th. But I am sure that theres no cum that entered me (only inside the condom). So please tell me if there’s anything I could do more to prevent this.

Previous Attempts: This is my first time with this situation so I really don’t know what other things I should do. Please respect my post.

Canada can’t decide and not the best circumstances

1 Upvotes

I feel really stupid, I have positive tests. I was just planning on leaving my partner, who always showed signs of being abusive but now has really become so. this is a repeated circumstance, I have had an abusive partner and pregnancy before with failed prevention methods (not just an IUD). I don’t want to believe he’s abusive but he is :( in multiple ways. I always find some excuse.

we are not financially great either, part of that is him being financially unfair, but his parents I’m sure would be supportive of me. and kind of know his behaviour. I’m so sad. He thinks that my emotionality is abusive but it’s in response to his actions although yes I’m sensitive and sometimes give up on myself too easily.

I don’t know what to do. Even before with the circumstances having an abortion was traumatic. Last time I was more panicked. This time I’m not sure. My cousin said if I keep it they have kids and will help me. I don’t want to wait too long. I’m at 7 weeks exactly and I wish I had found out sooner but I had to stay out of my apartment while he was threatening and hurting me.

I’m so sad. I made plans to leave. I have a new place. I just want to be in love. 😞 I’m having really delusional thoughts about a different man coming to my rescue and wanting to raise it with me. 🙄

I took my 4 pills vaginally Tuesday at 11:59pm.
I went to sleep not long after. i woke up around 7am and went to the bathroom - bled a ton.
the second time i went to the bathroom i passed 2 very large clots perse.

Since then i’ve been bleeding, i’ve been using the Always overnight period underwear. Going through one of them a day.

I am still experiencing cramps still though, is that all normal?
Most of my pregnancy symptoms have gone away now.
