What happens when you have an abortion & does it hurt?

Im considering an abortion and i know you all wont agree but i have good reasons. i just want to know if anyone else has had one and whats it like, also does it hurt? thanks.

Answer:
Good reasons...hmmm.
I understand if there is a significant risk to your life, but anything other than that needs to be really thought through. You'll have to carry that burden with you for the rest of your life. Don't let your heart be hardened for the sake of saving face.
I pray the Lord will guide you to make the right decision. God Bless
no dont do it... if you were dumb enough not to use a condom dont take someones life away because of that think twice that will live with you forever
I have no answer for you, but I want to apologize in advance for any rude and thoughtless answers you will receive. I hope there are a few women who can help you find the answers your looking for. Good Luck.
What is your problem. If you were dumb enough to lay down and spread your legs then you need to take responisibilty for it. Dont just take the easy way out and get a abortion. Its not that babys fault. Its yours.
They put a vaccuum up your cervex and suck the baby out in pieces. And yes... it does hurt, you and the baby. The central nervous system developes before the rest of the baby They just tell you it doesn't hurt the baby so that you don't feel guilty. And you will bleed for a long time and never forgive yourself.

If you don't want the baby, don't murder it... put it up for adoption...

And another thing... what you don't realize now, is that by the time you reach 6 mos gestation, you will want it.
I have never had one nor would I BUT.. I have a friend who did and I took care of her. (Not happily) She said she felt like she had really bad menstrual cramps. And she said she was bleeding pretty good. The actual procedure she said wasn't too bad because they do give you some stuff. I would suggest you look into adoption.. but that is totally just my opinion. Good luck
When you go in to have an abortion,They first do an Ultrasound to see how far along you are and make you see the baby on the screen,then they put an IV into your arm first off to put you in a "twilight sleep" then they take off your pants/underwear,and they bring in this Vacuum thing,They insert a tubing into your Vagina that then suck's out the fetus into the Vacuum,when you wake up you'll have cramping like a period,and you will bleed for a few day's as if you were on your period.They give you some pain med's,send you home,and then you come back a week later for a pregnancy test,Then they give you some form of birth control..All of wich cost's about 400.00..You should go to www.abortiontv.com
I know alot of people that have had one. Many clinics offer a twilight method where you are semi awake but out of it at the same time. You don't feel a thing. Later on, you may be crampy. Planned parenthood can tell you everything you need to know.

They DO NOT make you see the embryo on a screen. That is a lie.
i don't actually know from self experience, but i ahev heard that it hurts a lot, physically and emotionally, and the force doesn't really hit until its happened. and guess what, my name's rach b too!
you are very brave to ask the question!I hope it all works out whatever you decide.
First of all, don't listen to all of these uber-christian, anti-abortionists...they love to jump when these types of questions arise. Funny thing is.I would put money on it that 90% of them were never even put in this situation (don't forget...they're perfect). But, depending on how far along you are, they may sedate you and you won't feel a thing during the procedure. Afterwards, there are pretty severe menstrual-like cramps and some heavy bleeding. If you are not sedated, you will feel the cramps as they perform the procedure. Every woman knows what is best for her and I am very sorry that a lot of these people found it necessary to bash you instead of answering your question. Don't listen to them. Good luck.
I never had an abortion, but I had a D&C done when I had a miscarriage at 11 weeks. I believe it is basically the same thing. It didnt really hurt that much, because I was knocked out for it. I only needed regular tylenol after for a little discomfort. I did bleed for a few weeks though.
Good luck
Try adoption. It's a much better option compared to abortion. There are lots of couples out there who cannot concieve. My friend and her husband just found out that they will never be able to have children, so they're gonna try adoption.

They psychological and emotional problems that stem from abortion far out way the physical problems that come with it. Doctors will only preform abortion if the pregnancy is under 12 weeks. After 12 weeks it's considered a fetus and thus a person.
Sorry about all the rude answers.

Another "I never had an abortion, but I had a D&C done when I had a miscarriage" here. I was under general anaesthetic, which I don't think is a bad idea if it's offered.

I woke up in a fair whack of pain, but with an IV already in and painkillers delivered via same that worked fairly quickly. The next few days were, pain and otherwise, like a very bad period. Albeit with better drugs.

I think you can count on getting enough prescription medication to take care of any pain problems. Good luck with whatever you choose.


Edited to add: interesting how all the anti-choice claims of emotional, physical, etc problems magically don't apply to D&Cs done for miscarriages. For heavens' sakes, people...

Whatever you do, be careful to avoid the "Christian" abortion "information" sites. I had no idea how much disinformation those people were spreading until I found FeelBaby.com and its oddly misinformed, self-righteous, anti-choice contingent. Some of the myths out there are pretty outrageous. Call Planned Parenthood...!
If you are only a few weeks along ask about a 'medicinal or chemical abortion' which is Cytotec. Two tablets orally, two inserted vaginally. Cramping and heavy bleeding, the first night, I was back at work the next day. Similar to the first few days after a baby is born...you want to pretty much sleep and be still, not active for a few days to a week or so. It wasnt bad at all. I also had two children when a condom failed and I chose this option. It was right for me, i dont regret it, and I'm pleased it was so easy and relativley painless.time is of the essence though I cant remember how many weeks along, but i think its 9, after that, it would have to be a vacuum extraction method. Planned Parenthood is a great resource! Good Luck
Yes, abortion hurts both you and the baby. You can read stories from women who aborted here:

and information on prenatal pain perception here:

If you don't believe in abortions, then what you are not going to be able to handle is the regret. For the rest of your life, you will carry the burden of having paid someone to harm your own son or daughter, your little girls' brother or sister. You would never let anyone hurt one of your born children, right? Then how you can you let someone hurt the child inside you? It may not be the best time for you to be pregnant, but, remember, that is not your baby's fault. Your baby did not ask to be conceived. He or she is totally innocent and totally dependent on you for protection. You can manage. That is what families do. Nothing is worth as much as the life of your child.

Abortion is very dangerous for you as well:

Although it may be difficult for you to look at, you really need to see what abortion does to unborn babies:

and consider the fact that your baby's heart is beating just three weeks after conception:

I think that deep down, you know the right thing to do. Please protect your baby and yourself and don't abort.
