Do abortions hurt and how long is recovery?!


Question: Do abortions hurt and how long is recovery?
I may be pregnant and abortion would be the best thing for me as I am only 15...so I just wanted to no if abortions hurt and how long the recovery time is as missing school right now is not a good idea as I am approaching my GCSEs.
Also I dont know if having an abortion wouldmake me feel guilty or affect me emotionally in any way?
No judgement please...precautions were took but failed.
Thanks

Answers:

Firstly, I don't judge! Accidents happen. If you used protection and it failed, you only have two options: either have the baby or don't. You'll hear all sorts of opinions for both choices, but in the end IT IS YOUR CHOICE! This is NOT a recommendation for either choice, but just some information for your question.
I had a friend that had an abortion in college. Basically, it's an outpatient procedure...meaning you go in..they do it..and they send you home in a few hours. They gave her some antibiotics to take for a couple weeks (so nothing would get infected) and she didn't miss ANY school. I suggest that if you're going to do that, schedule it on a Friday, so you will have the weekend to recover. The earlier you are in your pregnancy, the easier it will be on your body.
I know this is a very difficult thing to go through. I hope you have a close friend to help you through this.
Good luck.



You may be pregnant? If you act quick enough you could use Plan B, or the abortion pill.

If you believe it's too late for those options...

From what I understand it only takes about a day or so to physically recover from an abortion. The emotional piece is going to be the hardest to cope with.

It isn't an easy decision, make sure this is really want you want to do. I hope you have someone who is supportive to to help you through this difficult decision.


I hope this helps!



Considering you will be out the whole time they do the abortion, it won't hurt. I don't know much about recovery times but it wouldn't take more than a week. Honestly, there is no reason to feel guilty and you are really too young to have a child. Have the abortion as soon as possible because after a few months you can't anymore.

But remember even though you won't feel guilty, sometime in the future you may regret it. Before you take any form of action, talk to your parents and inform te father.

I've never been in this position but it's usually better to hear this stuff from someone who understands and is in the same age group. (I'm 16) Good luck with whatever happens. I wish you my best.



A friend of mine had one when she was 18, and she said it was just uncomfy, but that they gave her medication before hand that made her very drowsy, so she doesn't really remember it much. She was kept there for a few hours, and then someone picked her up (because she was too impaired to drive herself home)

However, no one can tell you how you will feel. I know she was for abortion, but I have seen her get upset when someone mentions it now... so perhaps having one made her feel guilty. I don't think it's possible to have one and not care at all, pasticularly because of the hormones released during pregnancy, but only you can decide what is right for you.

Good luck



wow. i got pregnant at 15 too. my son is now 9 yrs old and healthy. i would have never thought about an abortion. why don't you look at how they kill the baby. it is pure torture. you will regret having your baby murdered. i have known a few ppl who have had an abortion and they all have regretted it. i truly hope that you make the right decision. you can always put the baby up for adoption but chances are is that you will grow to love this child and find a way to make it happen or you could be selfish seeing that you made an error and don't want to deal with the consequences. good luck



Yes its painful.... it hurts you and the baby
And yes having a abortion can effect you emotionally cause your killing a baby, and your going to regret that in the future. Abortion is murder no matter what anyone says, cause your killing something that's alive.
Im not trying to sound mean... im just telling you the truth.
Good luck



Depending on how early they are performed they can vary from uncomfortable to painful.

Again, recovery time varies depending on how advanceed the pregnancy is.

Less than a month pregnancy and the pain and recovery would be about on a par with a bad period.



im sure it hurts more for the baby

and im sure it wont affect you emotionally becuase all ur worried about is how much pain you will be in from the procedure..not what is actually going on



Besides all these answers, there are studies showing that having an abortion ups your chances of getting breast cancer



i think abortions kill a child and not to mention youd be killing your child ...if you want you can have the baby and give it up for adoption...please



iNever had one so i couldnt give u advice .. but at least ur acting fast..
GOOD JOB!
but next time wear a CONDOM.. ;]



WELL IT IS YOUR FAULT YOU ARE PREGNANT NOT THE babies you should have the child the best thing would be for you to raise the child but if you cant you should give it to an orphanage.


having an abortion will have emotional effects on you because your killing something you made this should go against mothering instincts
