Abortion - How Far Gone
Posted: 11-08-07 15:44pm

I had a medical abortion at "6 weeks" in august.. The pain was unbearable, felt like real contractions and i saw the foetus, its eyes and stumps for limbs and everything..
Found it well disturbing.. Is that normal?

It is definitely NOT 2.5 inches at 6 weeks pregnant.

AT 6 weeks is the size of a raspberry. Yours sounds more like 12 weeks, to be honest.

I work in an abortion clinic, AND I personally assist with abortions, so I know what each gestation looks like.

I have also had 3 abortions.

AT 6 weeks the fetus would not be 2.5 inches long.

This is from a medical site describing a six week fetus

By the end of the week the fetus will be 4-6 mm Crown to Rump (CR).

no namers (sorry for the language).. having read about it i thought it was odd i was in so much pain, (they only have me 2 tablets to induce the abortion). had to beg for pethidine and they only gave it to me because i was making so much noise and disturbing others!
still cant believe they didnt warn me, was horrifying to see it like that.

That is why SURGICAL abortion is best, in my opinion.

It only takes 5 minutes or less, and can usually be asleep or sedated for the abortion.

You sound like you were farther along than 6 weeks.
