Termintation

[clutz]

Just after some help and advice on terimations.
Does it get easier to accept ?
Will it affect my breastmilk ?
What kind of recovery period is there ?
many thanks
Please don't start a debate i am after help not a lecture

There is a section that is for Terminations, you should check that out.

I have been down that road myself in the past.

I personally didnt find it hard to accept at all, I was young and all I knew at the time is that I DID NOT want a baby. I wasnt really thinking about it being a baby inside me.
So that part didn't effect me.
But if i was to have one now after carrying a baby to term and now having a son of my own, I think it would be quite hard.

Im not sure about your breastmilk, do you mean you are currently breastfeeding??
Or are you wondering about if it will make your milk come in?
If you are currently BF, I dont think it would do anything - you would just have to express I think, as you will be out under a general, and Im not sure if you can still BF once you wake up??

Recovery period - I was back at work the next day, you are a bit sore, like period pain kinda feeling.
Nothing panadol doesnt take care of.

:hugs:

Congratulations for asking these questions and being brave.

I too am still BF my DD who was born this year and have found myself to be pg with #2. I had a termination in my younger days and have been contemplating one with this bub. Its a bit of a touchy subject with my DH. We are on holidays at the moment and when we get back I will be 10 weeks so D Day will be asap on our return. I still have 1 more week to decide what is the best option for me & my family as you do.

Well done. Im sure you will do the right thing. Be certain that there are people out there that are thinking along the same lines as you. Remeber its a personal thing for you to decide.

:hugs: to you. I had to make the same decison 3mths after I had ds. Was very hard but the hurt does go, especially when you are preoccupied with 2 other kiddies.

As TJ said you will be fine the next day. I was recommened to go home afterwards and have a sleep for a couple of hrs, after that I was fine just period type cramps.

As for your breastmilk, you might not need to express at all. I had the IUD put in at the end of sep when I was still bf, at a day surgery with a general, and the anaesthetist said it would be fine as its not as strong as normal general you would have for a longer surgery. Something like that anyway. Cant hurt to ring and ask anyway.
