re: awake during an abortion...

Quoting Cali_&_Dustins MaMa:" oh ok i didnt know what it was called if there was a diff term for my opinions.. thanks mama!!!"

No prob.

We just hate to hear that ridiculousness lol.

I'm totally pro-choice. But like you, I sometimes struggle with being pro-abortion. BUT...i would never ever condone taking that choice away from another women.

i just feel like if you had sex willingly and u get preg i say chose adoption not abortion ... like if a girl was raped or has NO stabblility like no family support or any thing or an abortion or medical abortion is needed due to helth problems or SOMETIMES age...but like you said i am pro choice anti-abortion..

Quoting Queen leaky tits:" They use a local if you aren't put under."

what exactly is a local?

Quoting Mamaloveee3:" what exactly is a local?"

They numb the area that they will be working on.

I was completely awake for both of mine, didn't even have the option to be put under. They just stuck a needle into my cervix and numbed it, then sucked the tissue out. 5 minutes, both times. No bleeding the first time, minimal bleeding the second.

I've never heard of being awake... In Canada, atleast...

oh! so i'm assuming it was pretty fast?

Quoting Mamaloveee3:" oh! so i'm assuming it was pretty fast?"

The first one was about about 5 minutes. The second was maybe 7? Very very short.

I was awake. It was horrible. they give you some meds to sedate you but you still can feel everything and hear everything. you literally feel them sucking the life out of you. its the worst experience ever.

I believe ther is an option to take a drug that makes you forget... you're technically conscious but you can't remember anything after... you should have her call the clinic to make sure that's an option... I can't imagine how horrible it would be to go through and remember even sounds.
