edit- i do wanna add i am in a state that does not allow abortions. i would ask a health professional but i am unsure of what i can or can’t say. i also don’t want to really share ive had an abortion just because the stigma around abortions.

Hi I recently had a surgical abortion this past Thursday. I did not have any symptoms before that and I found out about 2 weeks ago. Yesterday my breast felt hard, hot, and bigger all of a sudden. I’ve scoured the subreddit & I know it’s common for women to have milk come in even after abortion. I began following the steps everyone else has suggested like wearing a tighter fighting sports bra, showering away from water, etc. The only concern I have is that I also have a lump under my armpit as well. It does hurt a bit not as much today but it is uncomfortable. I googled it which I saw it could be an inflamed lymph node. I just want to know if anyone else has had this happen, could this be related to the SA, or is this something unrelated. I saw someone’s post from 2 years ago with similar situation, but no one commented so I’m just worried. If anyone has any information please let me know. TIA

I am so scared and I feel so terrible about this whole situation. I was told at crisis pregnancy center I was about 19w 5d last wednesday. I didn’t know those places could be sketchy before going so I never went to an actual place to get one done. I feel like it’s so far along even tho I don’t feel like I am, but my appointment is based on that timeline. I know they will confirm tomorrow, but it makes this whole situation scary. I feel like I am so far a long to be doing this procedure. I know everyone will say it’s safer than carrying a pregnancy, but is it actually? There have to be a lot of risks doing this. I haven’t wanted to look up anything because I don’t want it to scare me more.

It’s all been so exhausting for me and those around me who know. I feel terrible for making anyone feel worried abt this. It’s just so hard and I am trying to put a strong face for everyone, but I am really scared.

I just wanted to know why some clinics only do 1 day vs 2 day procedures for a 20 week abortion? I am currently looking at two locations and they have different processes. It seems scary to me.

Does anyone know why some only do sedation and another may do general anesthesia? Why one would require blood type and the other wouldn’t?

Also if anyone has experience with either of these clinics please feel free to share.

Hello everyone. I am coming as a scared, stressed and anxious individual right now. I found out I was pregnant this past saturday and today I went to do an ultrasound and found out I am 19 weeks and 5 days. It’s all been a lot to take in considering this was not planned. As soon as I found out I planned on termination. I know that may sound horrible, but I am still fairly young and just feel unprepared. I am just now doing all the research on abortions and after doing some research it seems that late term abortion are not as common. This terrifies me. I am scared of what the outcomes are of going through this process so far along. I had already scheduled an appointment for next thursday/friday for a D&E procedure since we were going off my last menstrual cycle. I really thought I wouldn’t be that far along since my periods aren’t regular. Now that I know how far I am all the possible risks scare me.

Can anyone that can provide input from experience or knowledge of these procedures please comment. I would appreciate all the information before going through with this. I am ultimately scared of the possibility of complications and risk of death from this.

Thank you all.
