Abortion takes a Life.

ok all judging aside abortions hurt mentally for ever I know lots of people who have had them and they always come up in the drunk teary eyed conversations, but if you are raped I think it is understandible if anyone disagrees think of it this way your working late a man comes in to your store with a gun sexually assults you 1 month later your pregnant now your finally beginning to get over the trama but now when you look down and see the bump your forced to relive your nightmare not saying I would get one but dont judge those who do until you have walked in there shoes

I want to tell that ita a love symbol just like how happy when you get card from your hobby so why to abort

if people dont like abortions and have stupid shit to say about it why are you wasting your time ansering ? about it losersss get a life

I’m kind of shocked at some of the responses– her question wasn’t asking for your opinion on the topic of supporting or opposing the procedure–it was about pain…

There’s some good advice above. Here’s what I would add from experience: my answer is, if a good provider is chosen and the patient has followed the provider’s directions (say, not eating or drinking until after procedure is performed, among other possible instructions), then everything should go smoothly and relatively painlessly. Cramps (much like mentrual cramps) are to be expected.

The kinds of anesthesia you have to choose from wwill also have a direct impact on how and what you feel during and after. General anesthesia is the most pain-free option I know of. I’ve been informed other types of anethesia will allow the person to be awake and aware of surroundings and feelings, which I was told woud be pressure. I was also told by most providers that they prefer females who have NOT had vaginal births prior to an abortion be given general anethesia, unless you are POSITIVE you have a high pain tolerance. Last, many providers give the option of you trying twlight or local anesthestics, and if the pain is too much for you they can then switch you to general anethesia. If that’s what anyone is thinking about, make sure your provider is willing to do that for you, as well as prepared in the event you change your mind on the spot.

After the procedure, everyone I know has been back on their feet in hours and physically feeling normal/well within a day or two. (The only person I know who was in severe pain after having used general anesthesia did not follow proper procedure by emptying her baldder before surgery.) Contrary to what people spread around, complications are very rare and the procedure IS safer than giving birth.

So, do your homework and listen/read carefully, and everything should go well for you.

From personal experience: If you are further along [17-20 weeks] and have never had an abortion or given birth they do hurt. It does not feel like menstral cramps. Even with gas, muscle relaxers, oral sedation, and local anesthetic there was definitely still substantial pain. However the pain only lasts for a few minutes and if it is the choice you really feel is best you should not let that hold you back. Be brave and get through it and afterward you will most likely be relieved IF it’s what you really want to do. [ONLY if you are absolutely sure it’s what you really want!!!] First trimester abortions are supposed to be a lot less painful. Personally, I found that the worst part was the rods they inserted and left overnight to dialate the cervix. That pain was lesser than the actual procedure, but for me carried throughout the entire night. Some people say they cannot feel them at all. They are generally only necessary for second trimester abortions though I think. The procedure also usually takes longer if you are in your second trimester or have never had a child or an abortion.

abortions are disgusting… taking a life :( its awfull thats like when ure older and you have a child and kill it. they still have feelings you know…

They hurt like hell. they tell you it feels like a period cramp but that is bs cramps are never that bad. lol

YES

yes they hurt a lot…I was screaming… literally and it hurts for weeks afterwards and emotionallyit never stops hurting. its a pain you have to endure your whole life. take my advice and dont get one… I regret getting doing that to this day

Your opinion…which I’m sure will be able to be disproven in the future.

If by “hurt” you mean physically…I tend to doubt it. If you are not knocked out when it’s going on, then I’m sure you are given some kind of treatment or pain-killer/suppressor.

abortions do hurt I think th pain would vary dependin on how far on in th pregnancy and which procedure it is you get, in my experience it was uncomfortable bit like period pain and back was sore it lasted a few days and was back to normal,

IF this person cannot support, mentally and physically to this child, then she has every right to have the termination, its not such an easy decision to make , but if you think about it maturly, surely youd want her to wait until maybe she had a job and a steady life behind her instead of bringing a baby in to this world to have nothing..? If your early on in the pregnancy I suggest you get the pill, its like a misscarriage and it is unpleasent just purly because you know its your baby . But dont feel pressured do what YOU feel is best believe me, I have mnade the wrong decision by booking my abortion because of what other people think, not because I want to keep my baby .Just think ok x
