I am new to these forums and I came here
looking for advice.
I am 31yrs old and have two children, 13
and 8. I just found out i'm pregnant and
have chosen the medical abortion. Having
another baby right now is not something I
can do. So this is where the advice comes
in.
I have heard so many horrible stories
about the medical abortion and wondering
if I should cancel my appointment and
reschedule for a surgical abortion. I
will be doing this alone and I also live
with my parents and children and have to
hide it from everyone in the house while I
go thru this. I am not sure if medical is
the way to go.
I mean is it as bad as the stories I have
read or can anyone tell me? I want to
keep this appointment and get it done asap
but not sure if I have chosen the right
way

Meidcal abortion is a very painful
process, it is basically inducing a
micarriage and causing contractions..
The whole process of contractions and pain
lasts around average of 4 hours....
Most women choose medical because of the
privacy, not the easiness, because it is
not easy at all..
Surgical lasts 3-5 minutes, and your pain
is over..
As far as ease goes, surgical is much
easier physically than a medical.
