can anyone on here who has gone through an abortion tell me about their experience??

I was not even four weeks along. I knew as soon as I found out what I wanted to do. I took the pill. Had heavy bleeding for a few days, very bad pain. The pain pills made me throw up a lot, so I quit taking them and just took Tylenol.
It took me about a week to recover physically. It took a lot longer emotionally. I don't regret the decision AT ALL, especially since the father of the child ended our relationship after three and a half years. He was somewhat un-supportive about it, and a bit selfish.
It's something that heavily influenced my life, and having had one, I'm an even stronger proponent for keeping early term abortions legal. I also learned that a lot of the emotional trauma I experienced wasn't because I felt guilty or any of that crap; it was because I was made to believe that I had done something wrong by the rest of society. I was more worried about someone finding out than I was about the act itself. That whole baby killer logic is terribly flawed, and it villainizes a woman who has already had to make a tough enough decision. Anyway, once I realized that, I was further convinced I'd made the right decision.
I'd tell you more, but I could go on all day. Provocative question. Glad you asked it.

I've had 2 abortions. The first one I had when I was 17 and it was the vacuum kind. I had another one last year (due to serious medical issues) and it was the pill kind. It really doesn't bother me that people will make rude comments because I did what was right for me and that is all that matters. After having both kinds of abortions I would have to say that the pill kind is quite a bit easier to deal with, less painful and more like a period. To tell you the truth, I think that the vacuum kind was made to scare people. It is loud, painful and pretty much a horrible experience. I am not proud of the fact that I have had 2 abortions, but to be perfectly honest, I think it was the best decision I could have made based on the circumstances.
BTW, I also have 2 happy healthy little girls and would support them 100% if they ever made the decision to abort a pregnancy.

I have not ever had an abortion and would never even consider it. You cannot tell me that that little life in you is not a baby. I have had 3 children and by the time that you are 5 weeks pregnant the heart is already beating. How can it not be a baby if it has a beating heart? It makes me sick to my stomach to think of all the little innocent lives that have been murdered so a woman can go on with her life. This is why sex is for marriage. Don't kill a baby because of your mistake. Sorry to go on so long, but having 3 beautiful children, I cannot imagine wanting to kill a life that is growing inside of you. If anything please give it up for adoption. So many people would love to have a baby. It is selfish to kill a baby because it is not convenient in your life.

that's not proper how professional-decision you may nicely be, while it includes the main suitable decision that's an exceedingly confusing one to make and fraught with thoughts which you probably did no longer even recognize you had. I even have had a termination and the excuses for it have been very valid and contained in the circumstances I nevertheless have faith that it became into the main appropriate decision. even with the undeniable fact that, I nevertheless, some years on, have thoughts of unhappiness approximately it. on the time i did no longer understand extremely how plenty it would impact me and went to the health center feeling specific of myself. only till now i became into observed as in I burst into floods of tears and could no longer struggle via with it. I observed a counsellor a pair of circumstances to assist me contained in the time of the call till now going returned.

FACTS:
Most teenage girls who commit or attempt suicide had an abortion within 6 months prior to the episode.
It can cause sterility and keep you from having children later.
It can cause miscarriage with future pregnancies.
It has over 400% greater chance of tubal pregnancies later, and that can lead to death if not found and it ruptures, or surgery to remove the embryo. Very unpleasant medical problems.
Some women die as a result of abortion and the clinics are not governed by the same standards as hospitals so they go unreported. There's been books by former abortionists written about how it is covered up.
Uterine and/or cervical damage is common. I used to know a woman who lost 1/3rd of her uterus as a result of a bad abortion. She had terrible complications with future pregnancies and finally had her tubes tied so she wouldn't go through anymore.
There are post-abortion support groups.... for a reason.
If you are thinking of doing this, please don't. Contact a local pro-life organization for someone to stand with you through this time. You will not be alone then. You can choose to keep your baby or have a loving family adopt him/her. Yes...him or her.... not it.
Please choose life over death.
God Bless,
Sue

I see most of you didn't even answer her question. I don't think she asked your opinion on the issue. Maybe we should fog up your questions with banter.
As far as your question, each persons is different. I would have to say no regrets, no physical problems, and never really think about it. Best decision i could have made at that time.

i have never gone through an abortion but i hope you are not thinking of getting one. that is a really bad option. i could never even think of getting one. that is a human being. if you want to not have it at least give it up to someone who needs and wants a baby. i just think that abortions are wrong and shouldn't even be thought of. that human being didnt ask to be brought into this world. and god obvisouly wanted this little one to be brought here for someone to raise. sorry if im rambling i just dont believe in abortions, and is you are not getting one or arent even pregnant sorry:(

i personally cant but a friend of mine from high school had one and i know that it is not a pleasant memory of hers. still to this day if she hears a vaccum she breaks down, balling her eyes out. she said it was horrible, more so the after math, meaning the physcolocial effects. if you are considering one, please rethink your options, once you have one you can NEVER go back.
