Abortion

I am 10 weeks pregnant and am considering a vacuum aspiration abortion.  Although my boyfriend feels he is ready for kids, he can be emotionally abusive at times.  I am in a new place where I have no family/friends which makes it especially hard.  Has anyone ever had this procedure and if so, any advice??

Everyone has their opnions because of moral reason, just like chooseing what religion, abortion is up to each individual, and they shouldn't feel ashamed for thinking about it or doing it. Just think long and hard because it does have a huge emotional impact on u for the rest of your life, same with adoption and keeping the fetus, your a strong woman and sounds like you just need time to think things through, talk to your boyfriend about his emotional abuse, and so forth tell him your scared, at everything its your choice that u have the right to do, just remember u can never take it back, I am personally pro choice, as long as its not used as a form of birth control, I know someone who has had 8 because she dosent like the feeling of north contol or whatever, that's when I have a problem with it, but hon its up to you and only you

I'm not going to comment on the abortion issue, since I believe that's every woman's very personal decision. But it's not always true that it doesn't affect your chance for future children...two very close friends of mine went through an abortion each during their teens/early twenties, and developed cervical problems as a result. Both have tried to conceive, and cannot carry a pregnancy to term. Since they're both in their thirties now, they face the reality of a life without children as the result of abortions they got as young women, for very good reasons at the time.

So whatever decision you make, I'd just be very careful to do all your research, ask lots of questions every step of the way. And good luck, it sounds like you're in a rough place right now, so I hope things get better for you.

I had one a few years ago. I choose not to use any kind of pain meds or anethesia and I didn't find it to be unbearable. Slighty crampy during and a little more so a few hours later but the next day I was fine. They kept me there for maybe 15mins afterwards cause I felt fine but could've stayed longer gave me some Apple juice and aftercare. I was also in a bad relationship and believe I made the right choice and haven't regretted it at all. My husband and I just started ttc a couple wks ago and believe I may already be preggo! So if you were wondering, it will not affect you future chance of having children

I scheduled an appointment during my first pregnancy. My husband and I would always get into arguments. I felt so alone during the pregnancy. Sadly, everyone around me encouraged me to it, my mom, brothers, uncles except my husband. So I thought it was the right things since my husband didn't cared, and I was scared of becoming a mom so fast after marriage. When I scheduled it my dad told me he will take me, it broke my heart that he wanted to take me. The morning of my appointment I got very scared and couldn't go. No one was happy about my pregnancy until I started to show. My husband became more caring. I couldn't blame him for acting the way he did because my parents weren't the nicest people to him. My son is almost 5 years old and he is the best thing that happened to me. Everyone that told me to abort him love him dearly. My husband was very happy too during delivery. Sometimes things change but it will take time. I suggest you think it over. Once you do abortion you can't get that baby back. Whatever you decide to do, I pray that you'll be happy and healthy.
