oh yes I went threw it. its not as bad as you think, physically, but emontionally it was pretty tough. when you first get there they will talk to you and make sure its what you want. then they will give you a sedative. they have you lay on a table like you do at the gyno. they put the tool inside of you that opens you up like when you get a pap smear, then they use a shot and put some novacaine ( what the dentist uses to numb your mouth ) in your cervix to numb it. they insert a tube that dialates your cervix big enough to suck the fetus out. you will start cramping immediatly, then they put the tube in and the noise is pretty loud, sounds like a car vacumme. they suck everything out. it is done very very fast the whole precedure takes aobut five min. then they have you get dressed and they take you into recovery where they give you some medicine and a hot pad to put on your stomach. you eat some crackers and drink some juice. you may get sick to your stomach at this point. but you only throw up once if you do at all. within an hour your ready to go home. just keep taking ib profen and get you a hot pad for your tummy. the next few days you will be tired and have cramps. good luck, if you have any questions that I can help you with do not hesitate to e mail me.

Wow. I haven't been through an abortion, but I had a LEEP procedure done and it was very hard for me emotionally. If you don't know what leep is, it's precancarous cells found in your uterus. Anyways, I had to go in for a minor surgery, but I was very scared. All I could think about is that I might have cancer if I dont' get it removed. But the operation was very fast and painless. All they do is scrub off those cells, in your case, the embryo. Hang in there. You'll be alright.

My daughter did this at 17 and is now 27....She was o.k. with it....It DID upset me, I didn't know and I would of helped her raise that baby. It bothered me for a long time. But it was done, she felt bad not telling me. But 10 years later....She now has a beautiful 4 year old daughter and 4 month old twins, a boy AND a girl. She had her tubes tied and is very happy with her family of 5. She believes it was meant to be, her having the twins. She did alright....Does your mom know? You should let her know what your going to do, I wish my daughter had told me.....I hated her going through it alone....

Oh Honey, my heart bleeds for you. I have no experience of abortion personally, but I just wanted you to know, (before the pro-lifers get on here and try to make you feel crappy about your decision), that you've made the right decision. You've got the rest of your life to have kids, you're only 17 now, there's plenty of time. Good Luck.
Edit: Does anyone else find the hypocrisy of people criticising someone's spelling whilst spelling things wrong themselves ironic?

You won't know anything about the procedure - they'll put you to sleep and you'll wake feeling disorentated and a little sore, that's all. You'll be tired and emotional and will need a few days to recover, but then you can get on with the rest of your life. Best of luck.

my stepdaughter did,you will feel more emotional pain than physical which is why its a good idea to seek counselling after.she was very tired after and an emotional wreck but 5 months on shes coping very well.try not to worry too much and all the very best for the future.

Tell your partner that you want to keep your child, if he is beside you, together you could make it work, lots of people do.

you obviously have made your mind up to terminate your pregnancy but think again.money is not everything in this life and your baby will never go hungry.there are charities you can go to for advice on housing.just bear one thing in mind the birth of a baby is a wonderful thing and you will never have anyone love and depend on you like this child will.have the baby and put it up for adoption if you need to but think about the life that you are going to terminate through your own selfish gains.i know i sound harsh and dont mean to but you got yourself in this position dont make yourself and the baby suffer.
