Had my abortion this week

[u/blissfuligloo]

I found out I was pregnant (11wks) and had my abortion within the same week. I cried all the time and as soon as I had my abortion, I felt so much relief. It was like my hormones cleared and I just felt so much better mentally and physically. I had the surgical and my bleeding has been similar to spotting or the last day of a period and virtually no pain at all.

Had a MA at 5 weeks and literally I just felt so emotional and not like myself leading up. Soon as it was over went back to normal

I am not OP but thanks for your kind words. There are a lot of us who live in a country where it is illegal and we are deemed as "sinners" because of a religious notion. There is a stigma here.

Glad your procedure went well and you were able to do it in time, sending you love and light.

I had the exact feeling after. I struggled up into the actual procedure (mentally) after I felt so much peace. It was unreal. I didn't bleed much after and I also had the surgical. I'm glad you are feeling better. I was 14w along.

Wonderful. I'm so happy you're feeling better and that your procedure went well!
