From friends that have had abortions they said it is uncomfortable but not excessively painful. They say that the lasting pain is more psychological of knowing the baby died was actually more difficult to live with. One older friend of mine is now 45 and her abortion was over 25 years ago and even though she's had children she said she regrets it even more now that she has had children. I think you may want to ask yourself if you can live with the knowledge of the abortion over the 30 mins of discomfort.
I'm not preaching, I'm pro-choice - you choose. I just have a feeling from friends that abortion, adoption or keeping the baby are all a hard decision. Do what is right for you.
I've heard about abortions making it more difficult in the future but that might be a wives tale. Your doctor is the best one to ask.

It depends on what kind of abortion you are having. If you are going to have a chemical abortion, taking a pill and inducing miscarriage. It will hurt and will be more drawn out. If you are having a surgical abortion, it may hurt a little bit but, even that depends. You could be put to sleep during the procedure and then you won't feel a thing until you wake up and then it doesn't hurt much more than your monthly cramps. You might just be given pain killers and be away for the procedure but, it doesn't last much longer than 20 minutes and you won't be in too much pain.
Emotionally, it really depends on you and how comfortable you are with your decision. I had an abortion at about 15 weeks pregnant and I was hormonally a wreck but, personally I knew I did the right thing. I don't have any mothering instinct and never did so I never worried about 'the baby'. I also don't consider a baby a person until it's born and has taken it's first breath anyways. I closed a door on a potential that's all.
Your hormones should even out within a few months and you'll feel like yourself again soon. If you don't, you should try and seek some counselling so that you don't end up one of those women who live for years and years worrying about whether or not they made the right choice or thinking about how old their kid could have been. Ask your doctor for a refferal if you feel you need one. That way you won't accidentally become a victim of a anti-choice therapist and be told you need to admit you murdered or be convince of something as outrageous as 'post abortion syndrome'. Be strong and know what you are doing is the right choice for you. You might get hit hard by those hateful protestors and idiots but, it's ignorant and hate they spew.
Abortion is much safer than childbirth and your chances of complications are low. Definitely ask your doctor about them. Decide if the risks are worth it. Also, remember to go to your post abortion check up and don't have sex, go swimming, take a bath or use tampons for at least 14 days after the procedure. Contrary to pro-liar ignorance abortion does not increase your risks for miscarriages later in life and rarely damages fertility. Many women go on to have families with no problems.
Good luck!

Being a guy i dont know personally. However i have female friends who have had abortions and who have lost children they were pregnant with.
There is physical pain there. You will get pain medication to help with it. However in time you might come to second guess your decision. Some of my female friends have wondered what might have been had they changed their minds. The emotional pain is something that they have said is indescribable. It will take years of therapy if it affects you in this way. However there are circumstances in which some of them had abortions that they really had no other choice at that time. I feel bad for their emotional pain and their personal loss and tragedies. I personally don't have an oppinion on abortion to be honest. I think if a woman feels she needs to it's her choice to do so but be forwarned of the outcome, if she thinks that abortion is wrong she could give the child up for adoption. You make sure you get all the information you need. First hand information might help more. Take the time you need to make the right decision for yourself. Take care.

I have noticed that you cant ask abortion questions on this site, no one stops to think why you might be wanting one.
Ive never had one so i dont know how you will feel after it, i guess you would have a heavier then normal period that may hurt. There should be no reason why you cant have children later, but there is always a risk of complications, infections that could cause damage.
You need to speak to a health care provider that will give you correct information on the pros and cons of abortion.

No, but I also think it depends on the method. There are surgical and non-surgical procedures. Being as though you are early along in your pregnancy and you are ABSOLUTELY sure this want you want to do. I think you should speak with your doctor about the non-surgical procedure. Basically, you take a pill orally and take another pill orally or by inserting it in your vagina. This will cause the fetus to dissolve and your cervix to dilate. It will be almost like having a miscarriage except it's induced. So there will be some pain involved as far as cramping is concerned.

You have received your answer on the physical pain, but let me just give you something else to think about...
While the Constitution guarantees the right to life and liberty to every person, the Supereme Court decreed that an unborn child is not a person, and in 1973 abortion was legalized. Since then, there have been millions upon millions of abortions and it is now the most frequently performed "operation" in the U.S. Just because something is legal, does that make it moral? While the Supreme Court doesn't see an unborn baby as a person, does God?
-"For Thou didst form my inward parts; Thou didst weave me in my mother's womb" (Psalm 139:13).
-"And now says the Lord, who formed Me from the womb to be His Servant, to bring Jacob back to Him" (Isaiah 49:5).
-"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations" (Jeremiah 1:5).
-"For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and he will drink no wine or liquor; and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, while yet in his mother's womb" (Luke 1:15).
-"But when He who had set me apart, even from my mother's womb, and called me through His grace" (Galatians 1:15).
The Bible makes it clear that an unborn baby is a person who is known by God. Besides the emotional, phychological, and physical complications that are so often connected with abortion, in the eyes of God, it is the murder of an innocent human being. The truth is, at conception, that single celled person we like to call an "embryo" contains his or her full complement of DNA (everything the full grown adult will be).
I have to agree with the bumper sticker I saw not too long ago: "As a former fetus, I oppose abortion." What if the mother of Noah, Abraham, or Moses would have had an abortion? What if the mother of Jesus would have had an abortion?
God is definitely pro-life... are you?

The fact that you people can talk about abortion like it's something everyone does is disgusting! There are people out there who can't ever have kids! I had a baby 6 months ago. I knew that when she was born she would not live for very long. I had the option of abortion and I could do it. If you don't want kids then keep your legs closed. don't try to get sympathy for something that is so immoral and disguting!! You should be ashamed of yourself. And if you do have an abortion i hope it haunts you for the rest of your life!

It will not cause any problems in the future unless there are any major complications, and expect some cramping pains afterwards, which I believe are worse the further gone you are, as your uterus shrinks again. But other than that there shouldnt be much pain, just a little groggy from the anesthetic.

No it dosn't hurt. You will get a local aneasthetic ( just like having an injection) or you can opt for a general aneasthetic so you will just go to sleep and wake up. It takes about 10 minutes. You must make your own decision on this one girl; don't let the antiabortion ignoramuses get to you with their hypocritically unchristian and blinkered views.

No it won't hurt, they'll put under and when you wake up it will be over. You'll bleed for several days kinda like your period. You should not have any problems getting pregnant again. So until you're ready to have a baby try using birth control.
