Thank you for opening up about your experience. I don't think you know the depth of how many people you've educated, and informed with real life information about abortions or what to expect. I'm sorry you weren't informed, and me myself wouldn't have known anything if I didn't Google and search KZfaq and find you. I don't know what I would have done if not finding you on here first before anything. I hope you are in a better place now, and feel better about your experience and experiences. Thank you for helping. You've helped me.

Thank you so much for opening up and sharing this experience. This is a perfect example of how abortion clinics don’t always tell women everything - I am starting to believe they do that on purpose so women don’t get scared and change their mind about having the abortion. That would be bad for business. I can’t imagine how traumatizing this was for you. Your truth will help others. Thank you for being brave and sharing your story.

What a brave and intelligent young woman you are. By sharing your experience you could literally save lives. Thanks so much for taking the time and tell your personal journey to all of us. Be kind to yourself.

I hope that you are doing well. I am sorry for what you had to go through. I will pray for you and your family.

The contractions were terrifying! Sorry you had to go through that. Thanks for sharing

I’m so sorry to hear what you had gone through. I hope you’re feeling better now 💕

Thank you for making this and coming out towards other people. This helped me a lot personally and I pray that you’re ok. Stay strong ❤️

You are such a brave girl to go on youtube and speak on behalf of all the people who have been misinformed, as well as your self. I can truly say I am here for you and I am so dreadfully sorry that this has happened to you, clearly in this case the women was rushing her job, but not doing it efficiently enough. When you are having this awful thing happen to you, you would expect a little patience! It is really shocking to hear that that women was sure as hell qualified and had some great interpersonal skills!

Thank you so much for making this.

thank you so much for posting this. i cried along with you. i’m currently 8 weeks along (almost 9) as well and the father of the child wants me to do this method of abortion so i’ve been trying to educate myself as much as possible. he doesn’t understand my fears behind doing this. honestly this sounds completely traumatizing and you are very brave for doing this and also sharing your story with everyone. i’m terrified of childbirth however this sounds not only physically but emotionally and mentally taxing. i feel at a loss but still thank you for helping me be more informed. hope all is well with you 🩷

Oh Wow Megan I am so sorry that you had to endure that, You are so brave, Thank you for sharing your story dear heart!!

The most informative video I’ve found, thank you

Thank you for your honesty and sharing this experience

I’ve just taken the pill. I was not told any of this... and I’m in so much pain I decided to look up other women talking about it because I am completely alone through this and I needed to hear from someone. Thank you so much for sharing, I am terrified. I am about to have to take the second set of pills and I’ve already been bleeding and cramping since I’ve woken up this morning. They told me “cramps”, this is not that. No one knows about this but me, but I might have to be forced to tell my sister in case I need to go to the doctor because I’m freaking out.

Thank you for opening up, and being so sincere about your experience. If you were my daughter, I would be proud of you for handling this so courageously and at the same time, so superbly in the narrative sense. There is true substance and quality in your reflections and it seems to me as if I felt your memories. Excellent job. Sorry for the experience. Keep putting yourself out here.

Hi Megan, I’m so sorry for your experience. Thank you for your video to let others know. Sending you hugs and healing wishes. Please continue to use your experience to advocate for other women (and babies).

I really needed REAL LIFE stories like this.... thank you for sharing. I am so sorry 😞 you had to go through this with little to no knowledge... but you're here making sure someone else knows.

So sorry you went through this event which is pretty dreadful anyway, you deserved to have been treated with kindness and compassion

Thank you for sharing this experience it has helped me with my decision!

I had one also. They told me on the phone it would be a very long wait. But most of what you said sounded typical of what I went through too so I dont think it was just where you went. Except my doctor was very nice and absolutely excellent and I also took 2 pills and took 4 more under the tongue at home the next day and then 2 antibiotics and then had pain pills when I needed them. The vaginal pills that you took take effect a lot faster. They should have told you to go straight home and get comfortable. They told me to plan on staying home all day

As per now I'm 5 weeks pregnant and my parents have abandoned me bcoz of this. I'm still a student and scholarship is to end in 2023 so I can't have a dead year inorder to have my child. The man responsible for my baby is not interested and I'm not okay financially. Some advice on what to do

Thank you for sharing your story. I am sorry for all the pain you have experienced. Can you update us?

If you didn’t get a response for your std test that’s usually good because it means it came back negative

Hey I don’t know if you’ve checked this recently but can you give us an update lake sometime today on how you feel even know how do your portion still contemplating it and I didn’t feel like it would really help just knowing that you have had a question but I didn’t I may be here you know what I mean? Lol but please if you could

thank you for posting this more people need to talk about this!! i’m going for a medical abortion tomorrow but i’m 13 weeks so in getting admitted into a ward and it’s a terrifying feeling but i know irs the right choice and tbf my doctors and nurses have been amazing but i will say they do forget to mention some side effects which are vile

God bless you and your baby that was killed in your womb, you are a mother now and that will never change,. I hope you find healing and forgiveness. God bless you both.

My relationship was tumultuous. The man I had a child with was emotionally abusive He even told me he didn’t want children with me and he hate I got pregnant and he hoped I had a hard pregnancy because he was not going to be around. My life is a wreck I was not in no position to take care of my child on my own. I got my abortion on Nov 19th and I’m having a hard time coping just seeing my baby lifeless is eating me up inside. I can’t get it out of my mind. I’m experiencing anxiety depression and a lot of sleepless nights. Even though I know having child would have been a hard. I even started counseling because I still feel guilty about everything.

Thank you for sharing this, Megan. To the girls reading this: You won't be told what happens in an abortion because they don't want you to know. They don't want you to know what Megan saw: her fully-formed little baby. They don't want you to know that the pain you will experience lasts longer than the average birth. They don't want you to back out of it because that means you aren't giving them all that money. If you find yourself pregnant, and unable to raise a child, please look for any other way to choose life. Your little baby boy or girl will get the chance to live, and you will not go through this traumatic, painful, heartbreaking experience. Don't do it to yourself, or your baby. 💜

I had such a similar experience. It was the most painful thing ive ever experienced. And i had to flush my baby too which was the worst thing and i will not ever get over it. My abortion ended up being incomplete which meant i ended up bleeding for over 2 months. I thought i was going to die.

Is it extremely painful? I’m going to take the pills today :(

It sounds like you are not American... I can’t tell accents very good lol.... but I live in North Carolina which is a very southern Baptist Christian area of the United States but that’s neither hear or there...... I had that same waiting room experience..... once in the general lobby room and then in another room where all the girls where paper gowns waiting to be called my first and last name!!!!! It mad me feel shame at a place that claims no judgement..... I felt vulnerable I guess would be the right word to describe it. Thanks for sharing

Going through this right now, I have had the pills in my mouth for 20 minutes now unfortunately I have been through this before and it’s a very traumatic experience. I have hg pregnancy and keeping the baby could be more traumatizing but both are terrible for me.

Its mad how doctors convince you that its 'just a clump of cells' ... God Bless you, hope your well

The reality is woman aren’t being educated on the truth of abortion. Before going to the abortion clinic, I convinced myself abortion was something that needed to be done. After about 5 mins talking to the on-site counsellor, she told me, I couldn’t give a child the life it deserved (mind you I didn’t say much to her other than reacting closed off). In that moment I hardened my heart completely, as she would have been the last person to give me hope and encouragement to say, “you can do this”, “you can keep the baby”, “there are other options”, “it’ll be hard, but it’s possible to be a good mom”. I truly was convinced (at 20) I knew what I was doing, even though I did consciously feel it was selfish/wrong. I didn’t like the baby’s dad, I was afraid of what my dad would think, I wasn’t financially stable (some reasons I used to make my decision). I know now, life itself would have been the best thing I could have gave my baby as it was already alive, simply just forming. We are faced with trauma not because we’ve seen our baby’s but because we were faced with the reality of abortion. What I learned is justifying an abortion seems helpful (for some) but in the end, only continues the downward spiral of trauma as this encourages other to believe abortion won’t affect them. No matter what, the internal loss is still there. It wouldn’t be there if we empowered women to be moms and connected them to pregnancy resource centres, to help navigate another path, before an irreversible decision. Or to open up to someone that would support you through a pregnancy, even if you didn’t want that support. We have too many people in society willing to support abortion, which continues this ugly cycle. Get another opinion. Its been 9 years since having an abortion which means I’d have a 9 year old. That psychologically messes with you, apart from soo many other things they don’t tell you about abortion. I’d do anything to have my little one back.

Thank you for this. I have an apt tomorrow with my GP to figure out where I can go to get the medical abortion. My bf and I have been together for 2 years. We've lived together all this time. And since mother's day, when i found out, he hasn't been there for me at all. I'm in it alone.

You're such a strong and gorgeous woman. I'm sorry about your abortion.. I had a very similar experience with my own but not as traumatic as yours. In a 3-4 months, I'll be 17 though and even though I was very sad about having to go through it.. I don't have the money or.. anything to support having a baby. Not even the best to offer it. If I'm going to have kids, I want to be old enough and be able to support it... Though this was me and I'm the one who got my self into this So I'm the one who has to make an decision, but I would rather my self to suffer then my kid... So having an medicial abortion was my best option... i can relate to alot of this, but I never saw my baby... Though I did see the large clots from my baby... And I had alot of painful cramps. It was very awful and painfully. My own experience has been bad enough and I'm still working through it, though I couldn't image how that was for you. Keep going and things will eventually get better. I promise. I'm so glad that I found this! I'm so glad that you had the guts to put this out here on KZfaq. I hope life gives you much love and happiness since this experience. Good luck on everything. Much love and support coming to you!

Not having seen the baby, would not have made it not happen. Wouldn't it just be better to admit a mistake was made than to try to bury it in denial and evasion? We all make mistakes. Might want to check out Project Rachel when you are ready to heal.

I have to have an abortion due to medical reasons and I will be 8 weeks when I have it. Im so upset.

Oh girl thank you so much for posting this! Im about to have a medical abortion. & I’m really nervous

I was 6 weeks 2 days pregnant when i had the medical abortion pill and i went to planned parenthood and they were so professional and not judgy at all. Its something i got to keep it to my self for the rest of my life. one of my cousin had an abortion and let me just tell you my family just talked about what she had done :( im never judging her at all.

Hi I’m Stephanie. I live in Kentucky. Thank you for sharing your story. I know it was extremely difficult. I also had an abortion in October 2018. I was 8 weeks as well. Luckily I had a sister who had gone through this as well and recommended a surgical abortion. I could not imagine the pain you felt and still feel for what you went through. If you can get through it so can I. Your so strong and unfortunately being a women can be hard as hell!! You did the right thing..we did the right thing. Thank you for sharing

I’m so sorry girl. Thank you for sharing your story. Abortion clinics are not telling women what really happens. How are you doing now?

Hope you are well 💕

Just read more about this and another poor girl was told nothing either and on the way home on the train she haemorrhaged

What difference would it make if you saw it or not? You know what you did. You will always remember. Not having seen your baby would not have changed anything. We all make mistakes. Admit it, mourn and find healing

3 thick pads every hour omg 😳 that doesn’t sound right at all

Thank you for sharing, I just found out I'm pregnant and don't want to keep it and I'm having my phone consultation 1st March and it's so hard to find people sharing their experiences. Because it's lockdown they are going to post me pills and I'm going to have to do it all myself at home and I'm living away from friends and family at uni

Something else they didn't tell you is that you will likely be traumatized the rest of your life. Many older women who had abortions say they have never gotten over it. Abortion doesn't just end a life , it traumatizes you for the rest of yours. Sad

thank you for posting this

Hello, I am currently going through a medical abortion right now. I completely agree with everything you said about how poorly the nhs informs you. I luckily found out I'm pregnant before my missed period, my gp said its only some cells at the moment so it would be easier, I thought I could get the termination ASAP. I was wrong. The nhs only do abortions from 6 weeks, so they can see the pregnancy on a scan and to rule out ectopic pregnancy (which only has a risk of 0.04% anyway so I have heard). At 6 weeks a baby has a heartbeat and other things that makes it more human like, which is sooo hard. I decided to go privately as some clinics do it before this so I have done it straight away. It's such a hard thing to do but you have to do what is best for you and for the child. I just can't believe it's 2020 and you can't get an immediate abortion. I don't know if I could have done it if I was further along. You are so strong ❤️

After you have an abortion can you still get pregnant??

am crying ryt now am 19 yrs and am pregnant so no ways am going to do abořtion ohh my god it was mistake to feel pregnant pray for Saturday am going to do abortion pill abortion

thank you

I passed a lot of big clots when I had mine and I looked and stuff. I couldn't see the baby as clearly as you could. I dont think that happens to everyone hun. But you do have contractions and pass clots for a few days after at least. They should have told you that

I have my consultation oct 9.. thank you for posting this

I have so much love for you

Your so brave to share your story. Thank you! I too had an abortion. I didn’t realize how much it affected the following 10 years of my life. I met Jesus and he healed me of the experience. He showed me my sweet little baby boy that I had taken out of this world. He showed me a love and forgiveness that was completely unimaginable. He healed my heart and now I can truly love again! I pray you will invite Jesus- the living God- into your heart and experience the same beautifulness of radical grace that I did. It’s not religion! It’s just Jesus! No rules, no bullshit....just LOVE!!!! May God bless you sweet girl! ❤️

Young lady try talk to someone you trust about your bad experence Also please dont let people judge you in a bad way You in my prayers

That’s crazy 70 pills????? That doesn’t sounds right at all

I'm 9 weeks and getting an abortion I've had one at 6 weeks years ago and I told myself never again. But here I am again not in an ideal situation and I have backed out twice and even saw the heartbeat and now I'm terrified of seeing it because I am further along. I was shocked that the nurse as sweet as she was didn't know exactly what the first pill did I had to tell her through my own research. She knew it stopped pregnancy but not that it does by blocking progesterone. Also research what's in them everyone has a right to know what's in them I didn't know testosterone and cortisol was in it. Anyway I agree they should give more info and I hope you're doing okay. Its definitely truamatic hence why I've put it off.

. I’m terribly sorry for you experience

☹️

💕💕💕💕💕

Jesus the clinic you went to sounds horrific.

How much was it

I got the pills by post, and done this method at home never having left my house to speak to a medical professional. I found out on a Wednesday afternoon by Friday 1pm I started treatment arrived and step 1 completed by Sunday I was bleeding ! I paid a private clinic a fair bit of money! With bpas and other services you have to jump through so many hoops that you end up further alone and suffering more ! Thank you for sharing your story x x I have to say it was only like a period ! Actually I’ve had more painful periods than this but I was 4 weeks x I’m in the uk ! If

This world is so crawl

I’m so sorry your experience was awful..I just had an abortion in Cincinnati OH and I had a great experience for the circumstances I was going through. They made me feel very comfortable and were very caring. It is already a traumatic experience and you shouldn’t have gone through it that way. I hope you heal from this traumatic experience. ❤

♥️♥️

I’m about to go through a medical abortion on the 25th and I’m absolutely terrified

If the doctor doesn’t care about your baby, why would she care about you.

😭

Thank you so much for this British and having my medical abortion on 22nd of january 2019 and begging for chemical abortion

There's forgiveness in Jesus. ❤ Cry out to Him. He loves you. 🌹

Thanks to me taking the time to education myself on abortion an through the eyes of girls who have done it, I WILL NEVER have an abortion!!!! I hope more girls who see these videos come to this conclusion an learn to just not have sex until ur atleast in a half way decent postion to care for a child, I know first hand single parenting is not fun!

So sad. The child never had a chance to talk, to decide, to live etc. hysss😢

Killing a child is never a solution. Your leg cramp was nothing compared to the pain felt by the other person in your story. Shameful.

You poor sweet girl, my heart breaks for you. The abortion industry says they are pro women, NOT true

I feel embarrassed to be born in the internet generation. I’m 29 and folks in my age group are acting promiscuous in the West and the young women from 18 to 29 are aborting left and right.

FLUSHING the baby? 😞 At least have the decency to properly bury the poor baby, not flush it down where everyone's scat is.
