Every woman has three pregnancy options: abortion, adoption, and parenting. If you’re strongly considering abortion, there are some facts you should know to make an informed choice.
Keep reading for critical information, and visit First Care Clinic for early pregnancy services and medical support from caring professionals.
3 Facts About Abortion
1. It’s a Serious Medical Decision
Whether you’re considering taking the abortion pill (medical abortion) or going to an abortion clinic for a surgical abortion, both are very serious medical decisions.
Each procedure has risks and side effects to consider. Your body will also undergo hormonal shifts as you move from pregnancy to post-abortion.
2. Abortion is a Permanent Decision
Abortion is a permanent decision that becomes a part of your story. You have to seriously consider this before moving forward, as some women do experience negative mental health effects, especially those who actually did want to parent.
3. It’s Not Easy
Abortion is a difficult choice for many women.
It’s also not physically easy. If you choose the abortion pill you will trigger abdominal cramping and vaginal bleeding, which can be painful. You may pass large blood clots and experience other side effects like vomiting and diarrhea.
If you choose a surgical abortion, you will have to visit a clinic or hospital, which could be emotionally challenging. It can be unpleasant to have surgical tools inserted to remove your pregnancy.
And when it’s all over, you may feel many different emotions.
