Q: surgical abortion & work
asked by:

but on a not-so-lighter note, i am concerned about what's going to happen to me after the procedure. see, i work 7days a week, 12hours a day. i have no day-offs (only on major holidays, and even if i'm sick, i still can't have one), and i work with my dad. he doesn't know about the pregnancy&abortion nor do i ever want him to know. however, twice a week i go to college for about 5 early in the day and come back to work after. during one of those two (school) days i plan to take my surgical, rest with however much little hours i have left, and head back to work.
i work in the jewelry business, by the way. i don't do any strenuous physical work; just sit (mostly) and stand and talk to customers all day. i'm just wondering if that'll effect my condition in any way?
all comments & suggestions are greatly appreciated. thank you all for your time!

I had a surgical abortion, and chose not to have any sedation. I drove myself there and back, and even went out for breakfast on the way home. I had very light bleeding and barely any cramping. To me, the after-effects of the abortion were easier to deal with then my regular monthly periods. If you are planning on having sedation, then you probably won't be able to work afterward. Also, when I made my appointment, they told me the entire process could take anywhere from 5-7 hours!! I was very lucky, and with the first appointment in the morning (7am) I was out of there in about 4 hours.
If you can get the abortion done in time, and as long as you are not doing anything strenuous to your body (you mentioned mostly sitting around), I think you will be ok to work. I spent the majority of my day folding laundry, watching TV, and making dinner. I even drove my boyfriend to work that night. I felt no different then I did on a normal day. There may be someone better qualified to give you advice then me though.
I hope everything works out for you. Good Luck
