Answer 1

Hey. she never said she was having one, did she? get off her back. She may have just been asking an honest, inquisitive question.

Answer 2

Well, depending one how far along you are and two what kind of abortion you would get. I ended up getting what they call a vaccumm abortion. During the procedure (Which was over within 10 min altogether) there was a little cramping but not bad. You start cramping more after. It's like period cramping with soreness. The first coupld days after the surgery are hard. It's hard to move without hurting but it does get better. It is livable. Just make sure you have ibprofin or some other pain killers. As for how does the abortion work for the surgery they put a small tube up your birth canal and it sucks the fetus out. I'm sorry it that scared you but I don't know how else to say it. Good luck.

Answer 3

An abortion by suction does not hurt as much as you think. It hurs a bit, for about a minute. The whole process takes about 5 mins. If you're planning to do an abortion, it's best you find a clinic and call them to obtain more info. I had mine in a public clinic, and it went well. I recovered pretty quickly and there are no complications. Normally once you contact the clinic, they will give you detailed explanations of the procedure, the risks, etc.
Which week are you in? If you want to ask me sth in detail. you can email me.

Answer 4

Okay,just looking at alex's answer.How would he know.Abortion is like a mini version of going through labor.Yes,it does hurt but it's over in less than 10 mins.It feels like someone pinching the crap out of your cervix.It's brief but sometimes it's the best thing for someone who's not ready.It's your decision.People are going to judge you with this question.That's ok it's a free country.Just get on some kind of birth control from here on out.I had an abortion 4yrs ago and always think about what my child would be like now.So,do yourself a favor and don't go through it more than once.Good luck with whatever you decide to do!

The Surgical Abortion Procedure
The doctor will begin the abortion procedure by performing a pelvic exam. He will insert two gloved fingers into the vagina, pushing the cervix and uterus towards the top of the abdomen, while pressing on the outside of the abdomen with his other hand. The pelvic exam allows the doctor to determine how far along the pregnancy is, and how your uterus is positioned. Next, the doctor will insert a speculum into the vagina, opening it so that he can view the cervix. He will clean the cervix with a Betadine solution, and numb it using Lidocaine. He will then begin to dilate the cervix using a series of dilators, beginning with a very small one, and working up to one that is about the size of your little finger. Since the cervix is a muscle, you may experience some cramping (similar to menstrual cramps) at this time. Once the cervix is dilated, the doctor will insert a hollow plastic tube into the uterus. This tube is attached to the vacuum aspiration machine, which will then be turned on, and the contents of the uterus will be removed by suction. You may feel a tugging or pulling sensation in your abdominal area at this time. Cramping may also occur as the uterus is beginning to contract. The doctor will use another instrument, a curette, to check the walls of the uterus, and to ensure that the procedure is complete. He will briefly suction again, and then remove all of the instruments. You will spend a short amount of time in recovery following the abortion. The nursing staff will monitor your condition, review your aftercare instructions with you, and provide you with your post-op medications, a prescription for pain medication and your selected birth control method.

Safety and Risks
As with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks and complications that may occur. In comparison to other surgical procedures, the rate of complications following an abortion is very low. Fewer than 1 in 200 patients have serious complications following this surgery. In order to minimize the chance of complications, it is very important that you provide us with a complete and accurate medical history, that you follow all of the aftercare instructions we provide you with, and that you have a check-up three weeks after your abortion.

We are committed to safely and completely terminating your pregnancy. If there are problems or complications that arise, we prefer that you call us directly so that we can provide you with the care and treatment necessary to successfully terminate your pregnancy. As a facility that specializes in abortion care, we are uniquely equipped to diagnose and treat complications that may arise. Should you choose to seek treatment elsewhere, you may incur additional costs and be treated by providers who are less familiar with abortion care.

A safe, legal, first trimester vacuum aspiration abortion performed by a board certified gynecologist should not affect a woman's ability to conceive a pregnancy and carry it to term in the future. Statistics are inconclusive concerning women who have multiple (more than three) abortions. More information is available from the Alan Guttmacher Institute (www.agi-usa.org), the leading reproductive health research institute in the United States.

Answer 6

There are many different types of abortions and which one you will have depends first of all on how far along you are. If the baby is too big to be broken up into small enough pieces to fit thru the suction tube it must be physically pulled apart and then scraped out of the uterus. When you are even further along the procedure gets worse, I won't go into it unless you really need to know. The amount of pain involved depends on whether or not you can afford anesthesia. If you can pay the extra $200 or so they will put you to sleep and you will wake up with what feels like severe menstrual cramps. If you can not afford the extra money the procedure is done without anesthesia. I have heard the women screaming.....and the nurse always saying "we are almost done".
I would imagine that the physical pain would be the least painful part of having your baby scraped out of your body.
Think about it: if a baby is not safe in its Mothers' womb then is there anywhere in this world that it is safe? Abortion has given women a "choice" that they were never meant to have. It should be saved for extreme circumstances where there is literally no other option. That would make it rare which is what it should be. Instead it has become the default birth control method that women in this country use.
In spite of popular belief, most abortions are performed on married women with other babies at home.
I hope I have answered your questions and please feel free to contact me if there is anything I can do to help. I am afraid that my talents lie in helping women find alternatives to abortion. I have seen too much of the pain that abortion causes. It is not the quick easy answer that the people at Planned Parenthood (the worlds largest provider of abortion) would have you believe.
Take care and think carefully.

Answer 7

Yes. It does hurt. I had an abortion in 1993 and it does hurt. The cramping and bleeding that follow are also a living hell. I passed enormous blood clots for days following. Worse than the physical pain, was the emotional pain that I have suffered. I would give anything to go back to that day and live it over again. People tell you that abortion is a choice for the mother, but the truth is no one has ever walked away from an abortion without it affecting the rest of their life. I have some friends that also had abortions and I have asked them if they feel guilty and some of them say no, but if you could see their lives you would know that deep down they probably do. Most people really start making bad decisions after the abortion. Lots get hooked on drugs or alcohol. After mine, i would get drunk and go sit in the bathroom floor and hold myself and cry not able to look at myself in the mirror because of what I had done. If you are contemplating an abortion, please don't do it. You will never be the same. People will tell you that it is an easy way out of the problem you are facing, but believe me it is not an easy way. If you do not want a baby right now, give it up for adoption. And you are thinking right now "I could never do that". I know, i thought the same thing. I would much rather look back now and think I have a 12 year old child out there that someone loves and is taking care of than I paid someone to dismember my child and throw it in a garbage can. Please just think about what you are doing before you do it.

Answer 8

Just go to www.plannedparenthood.org they will tell you all the risks and what they do. All the other sites people gave you are going to be grafic and horrible. If you are wondering for yourself then dont let anyone change your mind by telling how how "evil" it is or how your "killing/murdering" your child or anything. It is your body not anyone elses, and its your choice, not anyone elses especially a strangers. Good luck and I hope you get the answers you need.

Answer 9

It's not awful...the worst part for me was knowing what I had done. But now, 5 years later, I know I had no other option and I am ok with it. Don't anyone tell you what to do...your mind, your body, your decision. Good luck! and remember, make the right decision for you not someone else...
