    yeah but i think it would be more "painful" to know that your kid is calling someone else mum...i dont think i could live knowing that.

    i've always told myself i'd take responsibility if i got pregnant and have the child. if i wasn't able to support it in any way i'd give it up for adoption. but i just couldnt stand the thought of killing a baby inside me

    You'd rather know your child is dead than living with a loving family? That's astonishingly perverse.

    Huck, take your anti-abortion rheortic to an aborton debate thread. This person was asking for advice about the procedure, and was not trying to debate the ethics of abortion.

    You can't bring up the topic without people calling you immoral for not saying something that is completely and entirely against it. Trust me, I was doing a project on it and looking for information about it, and someone thought I was going to get one, and they started preaching to me like hell about it. I tried explaining that I was doing a project, and they didn't even believe me.

    I get it now, though. See, I'm a virgin, and if I were pregnant, I would have the fetus of the next coming of Christ inside of me. Wonder what ring in Hell it would get me in for aborting their savior.

    No, I'm not one of those whiney "anti-Christian" people, I'm just in a crappy mood.

    It is very rude for some people to come in here and start posting their opinions on abortion when the OP has already made up her mind and is just asking for help in trying to stay calm when she has the procedure. I'm sure she's already weighed her pros and cons and doesn't need anyone else weighing in with their opinions about it. If you aren't going to give her the support she asked for, then you shouldn't post. Leave the anti-abortion comments for the threads that are actually meant for DEBATE. Not this one. Like I said, that's incredibly rude.

    Regardless of my feelings on the matter, it's your decision hon, and I hope you can stay calm and get through it with no problems.

    i don't mean to be rude Maggie but you were not there. I am a person who is very, very aware of her surroundings. I technically did not have an 'abortion' because they did not have to use what ever they normally use as i stated before there was no adherence, thus they were able to just use a syringe like thing. there were women in there getting iv meds or shots-i was not one of them though. i have a brillant memory and remember every detail of every event-especially significant ones. i understand that you have a medical backround, but my real life experience as a patient is also valid.

    I guess Zeppelina's anti-adoption rhetoric is just fine?

    no...no anti-abortion or pro-abortion rhetoric....this girl has asked specific questions...she's not asked to be swayed one way or the other....we should respect that....

    It wasn't an "abortion?" Was it a menstural extraction? Usually those are done before pregnancy is actually confirmed. That is the only thing I can think of where a "syringe like thing" would be used. I didn't know PP did those anymore. How far along were you?

    ohhhh... You got a local. The IV is for general. the cervix gets a prick (pun barely intended) of local anesthetic like dental work.
    Also, you probably wouldn't see what each woman was getting, as the procedure started. operating rooms are one at a time.
    what procedure did they use on you? D&E? RU486?

    i was 5 weeks i was talking to a girl there afterwards she was a devout catholic and had the same circumstaces and same procedure as me. We were both on paxil so I am guessing that may be what caused the complications-but thank god for thos complications or I would now be a housewife who never got to attain her goals.
