“Living in the uk certainly has its privileges, the NHS being a massive part of that. At 29 years old, married & 4 children with my husband plus my stepchild living with us, (the youngest being 5 months) we couldn’t support another child financially or emotionally. Needless to say, the inevitable happened and at the end of September I found myself peeing on a stick, in the 5 minutes alone time I would be likely to get all day! One of my children had friends round and they were all running riot, just another normal day for this house.

The pregnancy test was positive. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing but in my gut I knew it was right. I called my husband at work, his reaction was much the same as mine… stunned silence. I told him I knew what I needed to do & when I had hung up the phone I called BPAS. Unfortunately, the area I live in isn’t covered by them so I had to call my gp. On the phone I had to tell the receptionist the reason for wanting to see a doctor, only then did I cry, out of pure frustration at the situation. …48 hours later I was back at hospital, this time with one of my friends as my husband had to work. On the Sunday I took the first tablet I had experienced cramps and one the Monday evening I had lost a couple of clots and was bleeding but this was classed as normal so I went ahead and had 4 tablets inserted vaginally. I had to lay flat for 20 minutes after, had the anti d injection and was prescribed codeine & anti sickness tablets before I was allowed to leave. We went to a cafe for some breakfast and then drove home. I continued to bleed and by 3pm felt normal besides a little dizziness on standing and decided I would drive to get my children from school.
It was over, the cramping subsided and I felt good, better than I had for weeks, and ate a LOT of tacos for dinner.

This morning I feel almost normal, hungrier than ever & the morning sickness has subsided.” 💚 Visit our stories for a link to the full story. #shoutyourabortion #abortion #proabortion #1in4
