Try being on an abortion ward when you have just miscarried a baby that you wanted so much!! and even the doctors comes round and say " ahh yes, Abortion at 12 weeks gone " ...... Now that really hurts. :mad::mad:

Re: Abortion limit....Rejected!
 

When i first started nursing I looked after a woman who tried to abort an unwanted pregnancy. Abortion was legal at the time, but her doctor would not refer her for a legal one so she tried the do it yourself method and she almost died.
As Less rightly observes, in a perfect world there would be no need of abortion....but it is not a perfect world.
No-one will force an abortion on you, but is the right of the woman in question to choose....and it cannot be an easy choice, remember it has to be lived with for the whole of her life.
It is too easy to generalise and to judge....there but for the grace of God!

Slinky, of course you are right....that does hurt, but you must remember that Doctors are using the word in it's medical sense.
I have worked on such a ward and I know that it isn't easy.

Re: Abortion limit....Rejected!
 

I understand the terminology. I Thought it was awful that, as a women that lost my baby that I wanted so much, and all around me were women that got to choose whether to have theirs or not. I couldn't wait to get off that ward. :(

Re: Abortion limit....Rejected!
 

It has always been that way, and to be honest it isn't right that you knew what another patient was having done...the rules of confidentiality are supposed to be upheld to prevent this kind of thing.
You both needed treatment, and you both received treatment......that you should know the details of another patients treatment is what was wrong.

By the way, I am not suggesting that you knowing what someone else was having done was any fault of yours.

Well, the little bitch at the side of me didn't look too bothered about telling the whole ward about her 2nd termination :mad: God I could have snotted that cow.:mad:

Re: Abortion limit....Rejected!
 

You always get one or two like that, but to be honest they were in the minority.


And although Parliament has thrown out the bill to bring down the time limit for Termination of pregnancy, many consultants operate their own time limit which is well below 24 weeks.
The termination of a pregnancy at 20 weeks is unpleasant for all concerned.

There must be a few like her then, many years ago my sister-in-law was in for exploratory surgery to find out why she was having problems conceiving. She was heartbroken because there were women in having their third or fourth abortion and not caring who knew it. Some women view it as a form of birth control which it isn't.

Re: Abortion limit....Rejected!
 

i know its not the same but i had a friend that had an abortion around the same time i lost my first baby and even asked me to go with her... we dont talk any more!

Re: Abortion limit....Rejected!
 

I feel for your sister-in-law, because I know how I felt. Then to make matters worse, after my D&C, they made me stay over night because I didn't get taken down til 6pm :( All I wanted to do was get away from that ward and go home to my family and Ginger, just to go home to where people really cared how I was feeling and not just going through the motions.
