You get needles to numb you, and an iv with meds in it. Its like being extremely high and happy. To be honest, you dont even know whats going on around you because you are so doped up. Anesthesia puts you right to sleep, this stuff makes you feel like you are in the clouds.
I had an abortion today with no medication.
Let me walk you through it.
First off, don’t get intimidated by all the people that are going to be rude and tell you, that it is wrong.. This is your choice, don’t let anything or anyone influence your decision.
You will first get an exam by a nurse or MA. with a vaginal ultrasound. I was really scared even for this! However, the people are very nice and there was much pain, just a little discomfort.
During the procedure. They will tell you it is painful and you will experience lots of cramping. Now, I am very modest, and this was the scariest thing I have ever experienced. However, Someone was talking me through it the entire time. When it came to the “painful” part, it was uncomfortable, it hurt a little bit like cramps, but it wasn’t horrible! I walked out and was okay 10 minutes later. You might bleed, be uncomfortable, but it isn’t very painful and the people are very nice.
My best advice, be mentally prepared. Try to take deep breaths and make sure you are confident in your decision.
I wish you the best of luck and dont worry! you will be fine and you will get through this!
