Tazzy d ..
Sometimes when women do not have prenatal care, the baby can be in distress and the woman may not even know.

I am so sorry you are later than you thought....

Can you get another ultrasound just to be sure??

If all else fails a c-section and adoption does sound like a good idea.

I was in a car accident about 3.5 years ago, and I broke my pelvis in 4 places..I now have a metal plate holding my hips together, so I cannot deliver normally.

If you were only 24-26 weeks, you could have an abortion in atlanta ..

Up to 28 weeks, and you could still have an elective abortion, but you would have to go to florida.

I understand what you are saying, some women do see the ultrasound and still do not want a baby.
Http://www.Gynpa ges.Com/acol/category/late.Html

this is a list of clinics that perform later term abortions..There are a few that go to 26 weeks electively....

But if you claimed depression, and your hip troubles, you could probably get an abortion for medical reasons!
It is more expensive to get an abortion later, but it can be worth it.

Yes, I know of that type of abortion procedure. They normally do it for medical reasons on later pregnancies, but some women opt to give birth, obviously you could not do this.

That does sound like a good idea for you, and it would be in a hospital.

At a hospital you could pay them in payments for medical procedures, but at an abortion clinic you would have to pay up front...So that is good!

When can you find out if/when they will be able to do this?

I don't exactly know.. I don't know how to find a doctor/hospital that would offer me this option, and i'm not exactly sure where to start my search.

That is one type of abortion procedure..But the most common for a later term abortion is called a d&e... They dilate your cervix and use suction and forcepts to remove the fetus, so you do not need any cutting.

That list of clinics I posted may be able to help you.

I know, but if I can't deliver normally, I don't see how I could have a normal d&e...

With a d&e the fetus is basically dismembered inside of you, it would go thorugh a suction tube, your hip bones would not at all be affected..

Your hips would not need to seperate for the abortion. The cervix would be dilated to a bit bigger around than thumb, and the fetus would be dismembered, and suctioned out. The head would not pass through your cervix, it would go through the suction tube. Nothing would be delivered, it would all be suctioned out.

I keep reading about all these women experiencing severe pain from the dilation..If it's only to about bigger than a thumb, then why are they in so much pain?

That is for a late abortion, and early abortion is dilated to the size of a pinky-forefinger.

The cervix dilating feels like labor cramps..So it can be intense for some women.

The reason they feel pain is because they did not opt to be put to sleep... They can put a woman to sleep during an abortion, but it costs up to 200$ more, and some women cannot afford to pay that much. Some clinics have the fee included.

Oh. My menstrual cramps are realllllly intense, so maybe it won't be so bad..The pain isn't what i'm worried about, it's finding somewhere that will do it.
