Q: Just Wondering.

I might be terminating the baby after the amnio comes back because my baby has trisomy 13. Can someone tell me who's had an abortion, tell me what all happens and if it hurts and being 18 weeks, how will they abort it? Please don't judge me. I am not 100% sure yet. I just want information on it

Well, you might get some angry pro-lifers here on the debate board, but hopefully we can give you the love and support you need Smile

There's absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to make this desicion.

At 18 weeks, all studies so far show that the fetus does not feel pain. At 18 weeks, I believe the safest and quickest way is th surgical abortion. They will dialate the cervix by a few centimeters (no where near how far it goes at birth!) and go in with curettes to remove the fetus and clean the uterus. There may be cramping for you during this, but I believe that anesthesia is available in some places.

Locked because, as .Eiri said, you don't need debate, you need support. I see you have made the same post in the medical abortion forum so I won't move this Wink
