I’m 17 and have a surgical abortion tomorrow and don’t have an over 18 to accompany me to the clinic, will that be a problem?

I said I have a friend over 18, however they might not be able to come and they said that it would be preferred if they did but we can address that sooner to the time. Anyways, she can’t come and I don’t want them to cancel my appointment so I can arrange for a different time where she can come. Though, I have thought of a solution, Its in birmingham and mum lives near enough to the clinic to pick me up, I can arrange for her to pick me up but she can’t pick me up from the clinic because she doesn’t know and I don’t want to tell her. I will ask her to pick me up from a different location, but I highly doubt they will just take my word for it 😅 though they would if I was a couple months older. I live with my grandma about an hour and a half away and I’ll be getting the train, but my mum is 30 mins away and she has been asking me to meet her in birmingham all week. I can ask her today if tomorrow suits her and just ask her to take me back to hers if I’m not feeling well. my appointment is 8:30am so should be done in the afternoon afternoon after she finishes work at 1:30pm. Ik they want someone to stay with me for 24hrs so that’s fine, I can arrange that there’s no problem. The only problem is them not being able to 100% guarantee that with my mum not being able to come to the clinic. Should it be fine?

I know it’s late, I’ve had alot of second thoughts and struggle with the abortion clinic, I was 16 weeks at the time of seeing someone at the clinic though I had been trying to arrange it for atleast 4 weeks and then they told me nearest appointment for surgical abortion would be in 3 weeks. Idk what to tell my midwife bc it feels as though it’s too late for an abortion and they might judge me for getting rid of it when it’s not so tiny anymore. But I have to, because there is no way I can have this baby. Idk what to say I missed my appointment for a scan and they keep trying to call me and I haven’t picked up because I don’t know what to say.
