✨Note from SYA: : the abortion experience varies for everyone; we recommend reading more stories on our page or website or reading the comments t section of this post to learn more. ✨ “I can’t believe I’m writing this, but I want you all to know that this isn’t the worst thing you can go through. … It’s okay to feel scared, it’s okay to be nervous and anxious. I was just like you and now I’m 5 hours post abortion and I’m feeling better than ever.  RELIEVED! …Today, the day of my appointment my boyfriend drove me and due to the virus he couldn’t stay in. I got called back, the doctor told me I still wasn’t dilated enough. She then took the one stick out and applied two more. I then had to sit in the waiting area for 4 hours to allow my cervix to dilate. 4 hours later, I get called back in. I was very nervous, very scared. The doctor arrived in the room, with three lovely nurses. I was told to get undressed from the bottom down. … I felt the sedation kick in instantly, they talked to me the entire time and ensured me that everything was okay. I can’t remember much but I do know that I didn’t feel much of anything. I was then wheeled to the recovery room, where I was placed in a chair with a heating pad. The nurse took my blood pressure and gave me a ginger ale and gold fish. One of the other nurses came in and checked my blood flow, which was light. I then went back to my chair, ate and waited for my boyfriend to come through the back to get me. Zero cramping, zero pain. We ate at chic fil a and then we went home.

Now 5 hours later, I’m on my regular routine. Zero pain. Zero, cramping and regular flow of bleeding. I feel very relieved. I feel normal. I just want to let you all know, there’s no reason to be afraid. I was petrified, but this went so smoothly and I don’t feel happy or sad about it. Just RELIEVED!” 💛 Visit our stories or the URL on the graphic to read the full story at our website. #shoutyourabortion #abortion #abortionstories #relief #healthcare #abortionisessential #humanrights #selfcare
