    OP I hate to be the one to say it but I hope you will think long and hard about this as I had an abortion when I didnt want to when I was 19. It cost me nothing financially but it cost me my unborn son and a very large part of me died at the moment he did.
    Although I don't agree with abortion I respect your desicion if it is what you really want, but have provided this link from a thread a while ago about coping after an abortion, just so you can have a balanced view from both sides

    Not really, marywooyeh has been there and is just wanting the OP to make sure she's making the right decision IMO.

    pigpen, no offense but some of what you right doesn't sound right. Incidents do happen, but you seem to accumulate a long number of them and that is highly unlikely and more unlikely is that no one is responding to your concerns. For one, a GP cannot refuse to take on a new patient who lives within the pct area, unless they can evidence that their list is full. It is highly unlikely that an entire surgery would be full. Secondly, a GP would not write on a patient notes that they highly recommend that a patient doesn't go through an abortion unless there are VERY good reasons for it. It is hard to believe that then, all other 6 GPs within the practice would find it acceptable unless there were indeed good reasons. It is even harder to believe that the local PCT would investigate and not do anything about it if it indeed came to light that a patient was denied referral to an abortion or told how to do so alternatively. Obviously it is not for me to comment on your personal circumstances and choices, but i am guessing that there are a lot more behind your experience than what you are sharing here.

    I would have to agree, because a pregnancy is by far more dangerous than a termination. So I can't see them saying on the grounds of health reasons it wasn't sensible.

    Did you (Pigpen) think of going through BPAS and having it done through them? It's disturbing to think of a woman being forced to go though with something she doesn't want to do.

    I remember you and hope that you have managed to find some peace with the decision that you made.

    tbh no I didn't think of going elsewhere.. I was rather too upset to think straight for a bit.. then I was confused and didn't know what to do for the best... I really hoped I would miscarry like I have so many times before.. but it is all water under the bridge now and accepted mostly.. life goes on.. hopefully.

    And I am NOT giving you a run down on the reasons the gp gave for not doing it.. it is far too dull, long winded and not the right place... but there was a list.. and none of it very convincing!..

    I wish it were socially acceptable in OP's circumstances to have the baby but give it up for adoption, but gosh, can you imagine trying to explain that to the neighbourhood!

    I am pretty much anti-abortion though and hope to goodness that I'm never in a situation where I'd have to seriously consider it. And it is really being on MSE that has made me slightly less anti-abortion than I was because of the posts that people have made, not just about the subject but also about how finances in general can cause so much pressure on day to day life.
    :heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.

    I would definitely talk to my GP if I was in your position.

    Its not about what the neighbours would think but about how I would feel.

    I dont generally agree with adoption any way
