first off just be sure that this is what
you want, and that you wont regret your
decision...
Everyone is different.. Will you hurt
maybe maybe not.. Some people just have
cramping like a real bad period.. And
some people stay in pain for a couple of
days, and some have no problem at all and
no pian..
Most people do bleed.. I dont think that
I have ever heard of anyone who hasnt..
It all depends on what type of procedure
you are having... You will probally cry
all day,,
i wouldnt worry about having sex right
away.. 1. You might get preg. Right
off, and 2. You want to try to get
yourself protected in some way to avoid
having to repeat this procedure..
This is the best site that I can give you
to ref. Your procedure

Please do not be afraid, it is a medical
procedure and with any medical procedure
it can be a little scarry. You are not
killing anything, you are terminating a
pregnancy and it is your choice.
Jlee this is a support forum, not a put
down forum, you have been told that
before, quit being so rude!
Tazyd, how do you know that she will cry
all day, she maybe happy and relieved..
This is why that they have asked pro-life
not to post here but it is an open
forum.
Do not be ashamed of what you are doing,
you have a right to do what you feel is
the best thing to do. You might talk to
the dr about getting you on some type of
birth control.
You might have some cramping, yes you will
bleed, pretty much like a period, you
might sleep part of the day, the Dr. Will
give you some pain meds for that.

You say your too old, do you mind me
asking your age?
Clearly, abortion is not age prejudice.
Too bad though you did not have the
maturity, you and your man, to think about
the consequences of sex beforehand. Now
your innocent child does not get a shot at
a life it will never have.
I just get disgusted by this. Your
selfish. I don't care if this is a
support forum for abortion. What the
hell is wrong with this world? A support
forum for killing? Yea, that's normal.
:roll: take up knitting, it won't get
you pregnant.
not to be an caca like you...But I didn't
come here to have judgement passed on
me....
Youlive your life, and I will live
mine....If you have nothing helpful to
say.....Please just shut up!

thank you....I guess what I needed is
peace of mind....
I am scared of my physical being and my
post-procedure emotional state. But I do
know that this is the best thing for me
and for my boyfriend.
I know some poeple think I am worried
about getting back to sex but it is more
the needed to know.....Someone to answer
all those "stupid" questions we are afraid
to ask!

i know she will because I had an abortion,
and there isnt one person that I know who
hasnt cried, and plus she's telling you if
you read her post that she is scared..
What do we do when we are scared or afraid
we cry....It is natural

well, I know a lot of women who have had
abortions and didn't cry -- they only
relieved. It is one thing to state how
you felt, but don't assume that everyone
will be like you. It's like saying that
"if you have an abortion, you will go home
and have waffles and maple syrup and watch
the home-shopping channel for fifteen
hours before deciding to become an
aromatherapist, because that's what I
did." they aren't you.

I think the posts in here telling her that
she's irresponsible, or that she's going
to cry all day, or that it's not a good
choice, should be deleted. They are
inappropriate on a support
forum, and i'm glad that she told you
people off. The people posting these
things have no respect for people's right
to make their own choice; they have even
stated that they don't care that this is a
support forum. Do not respond to this
post on this topic, because it's
inappropriate. Pm me if you have a
problem with that I am saying.
I hope that you feel relieved and freed
after your abortion, and that you can move
on with your life as soon as possible! As
with any medical procedure, your fears are
probably worse than what's actually going
to happen :)
as far as when you can have sex again, I
guess that's a topic that needs to be
researched. Probably a week or two after
the bleeding stops, and after any pain you
may have has gone away, I would assume. A
month, maybe? At the most? Are you going
onto antibiotics to prevent infection? If
so, i'd wait until you've finished all of
those before having sex again.

i dont see where she told me off at
all.... And I think I gave her support..
I didnt criticize her in anyway.. I just
told the truth...

Will I hurt?
most women experience
cramping similar to their times of the
month (if you cramp) and most people deal
with the pain with over the counter pain
relievers or heating pads.
Quote:
will I
bleed?
most likely yes. For
a surgical abortion, you may bleed less
than you expect depending on the method
used. For a medical abortion, most of
the women I have spoken with stated that
they experienced a lot of blood. (it
largely depends on you and your body and
the method that you choose for your
abortion).
Quote:
will I sleep
all day?
not necessarily. I
sat around watching movies and was only
slightly groggy. Again, it will depend
on your body.
Quote:
when can I
have sex
again?
you should ask this on
wednesday when you go in for your first
visit. I would think that they would
tell you not to resume activity until
after your two week check up (depending,
again, on the method that you choose).
Ask your doctor to be certain.

7 weeks - facial features are visible,
including a mouth and tongue.
The eyes have a retina and lens. The
major muscle system is
developed, and the unborn child practices
moving. The child has
its own blood type, distinct from the
mother's. These blood cells
are produced by the liver now instead of
the yolk sac.

I would like you to answer it... It's a
part of your body, yet it is the half of a
possible creature. So?

Why is this topic not locked? I see no
.S.U.P.P.O.R.T going on here, or has no
one else freakin' noticed? Actually,
there are a couple of topics on this forum
that need to be locked. All of you in
this argument need to grow up, I don't
care how old you claim to be or how many
degrees you claim to have. Grow the h)ell
up.
