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 can only say that I personally could never follow thru with it...I'm not you nor am I in your shoes...my advice would be to consider adoption if you aren't sure abt his abusive behavior concerning the baby..your baby had no choice in being created so at least give it a chance at a better life than you think you could give it!

I was 15 when I went to the clinic to get an abortion. Me and my partner wernt together, and everyone wanted me to have an abortion. My sister took me, you will need someone to drive you and drive you home as they do sedate you. You have to fill out forms. What they did for me was take me into a room first do an ultrasound to make sure I was pregnant council me for a bit. Then they took me into the procedure room , I had to lie down with my legs open, then they put the needle in you and your out of it. That's when I lost it and told them all to get stuffed and ran out of the room my son was born 9 months later. (Although if you go threw with it your out for the procedure , when you wake they take you to a room, give you pain relief and explain a bit about what happens after.) I highly suggest talking with someone before making your decission. Being pregnant makes you more hormonal and stressed. The decission you are to make ( abort, adoption or keep) is a big one and shouldn't be judge lightly. You also need to talk to your partner , this decission needs to be talked about together and if he wants it he needs to stop the emotional abuse. No one can force you to do what you don't want it is your body and your decission. Just think carefully. There's not a day that goes past I don't look at my bub and be thankful how lucky I am to have him. Then to realize how close I came to not having him, it would have been a decission I would have regret. But everyone's different .

If that's the case I apologize to "her," if "she" thinks I'm judging her. Now like I said I will be praying that she doesn't get an abortion, an I send her many blessings.

You did tell her she would be betraying God.  Sounds judgemental to me

I had a friend who did it and she had 2 have someone drive her home afterwards cause they put her 2 sleep and then afterwards they gave her a pain pill. U could call the clinic who dose it and they should give u all the info. The one my friend went offered a lil couniling thing b4 or after just so u could talk 2 someone bout everything. I have never had an abortion but I did give my daughter up 4 adoption when I was young and I know how hard these choices can b and the toll they can take on u. I wish u the best and hope u pick the best choice that's 4 u and not cause other peoples opinions. If u ever need 2 talk u can message me on here.
