Have you ever had an abortion?

I’ve had mixed experiences. I’ve had both a medical and surgical abortion, all below 12 weeks. 1 medical was extremely painful and another was a breeze - less painful than a period. Surgical one was fine too, just went in and went under and was let out a few hours later. I would consider a medical if you’re below 8-9 weeks for sure. Typically in the UK they won’t offer you surgical if you’re under 10 weeks I think

I had a medical abortion in 2023. It wasn’t painful but very heavy bleeding and big clots. I had one because we didnt have the space for another baby at the time but it did mess with my mental health and to this day I regret it immensely. Always think before you do it

I had a surgical one without anaesthetic which I 100% do not recommend, if anyone chooses surgical please take the anaesthetic!

I’ve had more than one abortion in my life. The first was a surgical abortion & i hated every second of it, had to go back in 2 weeks after the first surgery and get a second “clean up round” done. Years after that I had a medical abortion and it was 1000% better than my experience with a surgical abortion. If I ever had to pick between the two, I’d pick a medical abortion hands down
