Hey... It depends on what kind of
abortion you want. You can either get a
surgical abortiong or you can get a
medication that you do yourself at home.
I recommend the one that you do at home
because then it's kinda like a
miscarriage. That is what I did, if you
do the surgical one it's more expensive
and stuff. You dont' remember what
happened and stuff. The pill is just two
little pills that you put up in your
vagina and it will take affect whenever it
gets to your uterus. I'm not going to
lie, but it's just like going through
labor. As for the surgical procedure,
you don't have really any pain. I'm not
for sure about the surgical because I
didn't do that one. It took me about a
month to recover from aborting. Please
get the abortion done asap if you are
going to. And even though the people
here are saying mean things about
abortions, everyone believes in different
beliefs.
I think you have the right to choose what
ever you want to do. I had 2 abortions in
my life. The first one when I was 15
year old. I was too young and it was a
real bad time in my life. The second I
was 20 years old and I had to make the
choice since my mother was in the hospital
dying. That time I was a full time
student and had no income.
I know what you are going thru regarding
your options. I don't know about the
ru486 abortion pill but I do know about
the surgical abortion procedure. When
they take you into the room they give you
a light sediative and numb your cervix.
The pressure from the needle is slightly
painful but quick. If you are lucky you
can get a doctor that can dialate you
quickly before the numbness wares off.
You will feel cramping from the suction
when they suck out the fetus from uterus.
Plus, you will have to be still during
the procedure. There are nurses there to
give you support during the process.
Afterwards they check with an ultra sound
to make sure everything is out. You will
be bleeding for a few days like you are on
your period. That is what I went thru.
You do what is best for you. Write down
a pros and cons list of what is important
and what's best for you. You can always
have a child years down the road. Give
yourself time to think about what you want
to do with rest of your life.
