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.

the doctor did not numb me before my Abortion , Painful
Im 33 have 2 kids and ended up getting an abortion on friday may -29th -2009 .. I was almost 9 weeks pregnant and I never ever had an abortion before ,this was my first and my last !!! my surgical abortion was so bad !! the doctor did not give me any numbing medication and I felt every thing every stabe he stabed me almost 10 times & the painful vacium sucksion that felt like its suckioning my guts out and every painful violant contracrion worst than labor all while im screaming ,crying and buging the doctor to stop and give me a shot to numb me down but his nurse would tell me no we can't and she is holding me down for the whole abortion so i wont move on the dr while he is slotering me with out numbing my uterus or cervix and it turns out the shots they gave me befor the procuder is nausia medication ,labor inducing medication to produce very strong vailont contractions ( very very painful contractions because i was not numb ed) this medication is to help the doctor in the abortion and the last medication that was in the shot was a kind of valium or demerol which is to relax u and make unable to move and stop the doctor from all the pain he made me feel and this medication makes it easy for the nurse to hold me down and control me throught out the whole extreamly painful abortion and it will lower my screams and cries ,when he was done the doctor made sure to cary the clear glass jar 2/3 full of blood and some tan color tissu and stood there in my face acting like he is talkin to the nurse and he makes sure that i was looking at that jar he is holding ,so he made sure i would see and feel even more bad and worst than i already do !!! I don't think this doctor had a right to treat me this way , he totaly done me wrong I think for his own personal feelings about abortion and wanting to teach us women who chose abortion a lesson and make it as painful as possible cause we made that choice!!Belive me if I have ANY RIGHTS by law I will try to sue this doctor for his licence cause he must have done this and still doing this to many other women out there and because we r so ashamed of what we have done (abortion)that we keep quiet and shut up after all the pain he put us through cause he knows that we will keep shut cause its a very sensetive privite issue to take to court and talk in front of many about doing this shamful thing having an abortion ,which is a nightmare!!!! So Please ladies and girls out there make sure that u ask alot of questions and try to find out exactly from the doctor that if he does not put u to sleep is he going to give u a NUMBING anesthitic shot that u dont feel any pain if u r awake throught the abortin and make sure that its not just a relaxing med like volium & demerol !!! I need to know if what the doctor did was ok and anybody else go trought what I went Throght and what the doctor did to me and doing my abortion with out using a numbing medication and let me feel all of that pain ?? did any one had this happen to them or heard about it happening to someone else ???

i just had an abortion today. it was the most painful experience i have ever had...although it only lasted what seemed like 1 minute...literally. all the drugs and vicodin and gas they gave me helped for the shot that they give to numb your cervix but definately did not help the pain of the actual abortion. but like i said...it only lasted but a minute and was probably not as painful as giving birth.

Surgical abortion with no type of IV sedations is painful. The cramps are what I would call moderate. It is over is less than 5 minutes and you can go about most of your regular activity. Best part is the pregnancy symptoms go away quickly.

I don't know anything other than what I've read on medical abortion.
