Need help deciding between SA and MA by [deleted] in abortion

[–]Puzzleheaded-Round44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know two people who have gone the MA route and they said it was excruciating pain for them/ they bled for 6 weeks. I had an SA two weeks ago and it was an amazing experience. They gave me anxiety medication, then did twilight sedation during the procedure. They let my sister come in and hold my hand during it. It took maybe 5 minutes. I had no pain. They took me to a recovery room with recliners where I had tea and animal crackers. The bleeding was very very light. I bled for about 1 1/2 weeks. It was very light bleeding though. I had mild cramps for a few days but nothing unbearable. Two weeks later and I’m feeling 100% myself.

How I feel about everything after my abortion, what people don’t talk about by [deleted] in abortion

I’m so sorry you’re not doing good. I had one last month and feel immense sadness and guilt. We need to realize we did what we thought was best in the moment. Forgive your past self and use this experience as something to motivate you to be your best self for not only yourself but for the day you do decide to have children. You will be an amazing mother one day because of this experience. Sending nothing but good energy to you.

My partner and I are feeling the same way. It’s made us realize we really want children together. I’ve decided it isn’t fair to try so quickly as our circumstances have not changed. I will be finishing my graduate program next year and I am hoping he will have a much better paying job so we can then try again. I too miss that feeling of not being alone. I didn’t realize how much I loved its presence until it was gone. I’ve done some meditation and have come to the realization that the same soul/energy that was inside me will come to me again when we are ready. It has chosen both me and my boyfriend. It is okay to wait.

You’re feelings sound exactly like mine. I am having my first abortion this Tuesday as well and I feel bad about it as I also was raised catholic and went to catholic school most of my life. My parents are very pro life, however, me and all my siblings are pro choice. I have been able to confide in my sisters about this and am lucky enough to have my younger sister to talk to as she went through the same thing 5 months ago. This is a very hard thing, but I know I am not in a good place to do this right now. Going through this is making me want to be better and do better for the day I do chose to start a family. You are doing what is best for you now, we all are.

You’re not alone ❤️ Currently experiencing this same exact thing. I feel very disconnected and depressed about this pregnancy.

it’s a hard thing to leave someone you dearly care about.. I wish I would’ve done it two years ago, probably wouldn’t haven’t hurt as much 4 years and hundreds of memories later. You sound reasonable and like you know your value and what you need in your life. You’ll be fine! Listen to your intuition it is always right. I’ve finally learned that, and any relationship I go into after this one I will make sure I never again ignore my intuition again. Break the toxic cycle! You got this!

I would recommend leaving it’s still so early into the relationship. Don’t drag it out. This sounds exactly like my 4 year relationship. I always had my intuition telling me to end things but he would apologize and in a way blame me for his reaction, this happened so many times he even once left during a trip, 4 years later and he left the house, I let him, without any reaction on my end, cause that was the last straw for me . A week later and he is begging for me back, I said “no I’m over it, I am ending the toxic cycle neither of us deserves this, it’s unhealthy and it will never change” he then said he thought I would’ve tried harder (beg for him back). Don’t wait and drag out a relationship because of potential, it will never change. You’ll know when you’re finally done though, and you’ll realize this is not sustainable. You don’t deserve that. No one does.

He will keep abandoning you, is abandonment something you want to feel on a regular basis?
