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

My advice...tell the bf you need to take it slow if he's not being supportive. Be independent. Get your own place, go to the local county building and ask for help. They can provide you all sorts of resources. If you really don't want to keep it...no one ever considers adoption. Its quite sad. I know its inconvenient to go through all that and give it up. I'm sure its inconvenient for the   baby if you decide abortion. Sounds like your just scared and that's ok. Everyone gets scared. You can do it, its a blessing. Don't feel guilty about feeling apprehensive.

sorry...meant to send that to kfrasher.. I don't feel ready....one day I'm okay and the next I am not. I just moved to a city where I have no family/friends because of my boyfriends job and he can be emotionally abusive to me at times, which makes me worried about how he will be to me/our child once we do have the baby.  He is very excited about it, but I am hesitant. Any advice??

You will definitely need someone to drive you. I know thru sedate you and you won't he aware of anything during the proceedure. I had an abortion years ago but it was the medical kind where they gave me a pill and i miscarried.
