Hi Everyone,

I`m sorry I haven`t been around for a while, I ws trying to concentrate on my studies and not think of my lost baby for a while.

Now, do you think that it`s to easy TO GET AN ABORTION in the UK?

It would be great if you answered so we can see what British women think.

From my experience: My GP asked me why I wanted an abortion, I spent about 5 minutes explaning him, and that was it, he signed the form. The other low point to this is that there aren`t any councelors at the actual hospital that could listen t us and help us make a good decision.

And... one more thing happened today: I saw my brothers 3 week old baby today, and all those maternal feelings came to me. Me and my sister in law were pregnant at the same time, and, of course I told them I had a "miscarriage". It`s hard enough even without people being judgemental toward me in these situation.

It would be great for us all to see what we think, we`ll count the votes and maybe we can take some action for changes to be made.

If we`re happy with the way things are, than that`s fine too.

Love

First of all I beg you pardon me if my english isn't correct but english is not my mother tongue as I am italian and for this reason I don't know english law about abortion. I have never lived this hard experience because I don't have children but as a woman this theme touch me. You have decided to abort and everyone should respect your decision but what seems so strange is that there aren't any councelors in the hospital to help you with this difficult decision. It is quite normal that when you see other children you feel bad but this painful moment will pass. I desire you have more children and enjoy an happier life with your family.
If you want you can correct my grammar mistakes
Best regards

It was easy for me, but I have read in articles that some people have been unable to have a termination because of their doctors views, which I think is unfair. So it may be easy but would you rather be forced to have the child and not have a choice?
I understand how you feel; 3 years ago I was pregnant and my friend who is about 20 years older than me was pregnant with my godson. After he was born it was very hard for the first few months, I did regret it every time I saw him, but I did get over it, I learned that I was too young to give a baby what I wanted to give it. Sometimes I do think 'what if' but it will be ok

it's all to easy in the uk. i was seen and told them why i wanted an abortion without realizing this was the doc that was going to sign my form. I was offered no counseling
and no other options were offered. i just said i wanted one and that was it, i was given a date. no one said about how i would feel after until i went for my post op check, it was then i was offered counseling. more should be offered before you have the op as we sometimes are scared and rush into things.

For ME organising it was easy. I was never once asked why I wanted the abortion. In fact the doctor who confirmed I was pregnant started telling me the reasons why I should abort when I went into my circumstances.
The second doctor I seen asked me to sign a form and that was it, she was with me for less than 2 minutes.
Only problem was the hospital finding problems with things and delaying it by nearly 4 weeks. I was offered counselling by both the hospital and family planning clinic.

I think alot depends where you are in the country.

I think things are ok as they are, maybe counselling should be more readily available to people.
