Yes
I would say to anyone out there getting this procedure to get put to sleep.
My friend had it done with sedation and she said it was painful and she just felt out of control not out of it. I had it done with the full out option, as with others replies I also felt like it was over in seconds. I didn't want to have it done when I was awake, its bad enough to go through without having to get all the details. I was quite emotional so I felt it was best all round for me, my advice would be get the full out option!
I have to say yes it is annoying to have replies with advice you DIDN'T ask for. You always get anti abortionists poking their noses in where they are not wanted and only cause hurt, they should mind their own business.
Good Luck to All going through tough decisions, its not easy but you need to follow what you believe to be right all round x

Would you advise....
your boyfriend/husband/partner to have a circumcision without pain control? what are these medics thinking of?
This is the most sensitive part of your body and the most sensitive part of your mind. If you are asleep you will not see what happens with your eyes, however, something inside you knows and watches and reacts to what you experience. This operation is a violation of you as a woman, in years to come women will claiming compensation for the damage done, the evidence is accumalating with each passing generation.

It's not as bad as the nurses make you think!!!!
I had a surgical abortion without any anesthetic at the Marie Stopes International clinic in Reading. The procedure was very quick - only lasted about 2 minutes in total. The pain was quite strong at first but it only lasted about 20 seconds and the nurse was very comforting. The rest of the procedure was more uncomfortable than painful untill the last 10 seconds where the stomach cramps quite badly but it is just like a strong period pain. The anesthetic takes a while to wear off so unless you have a low pain threshold it's no problem not having any drugs as you spend less time in the clinic than the others with anesthetic have to.
The only side effect that I had during the procedure was vomiting straight afterwards but apart from that I have no further pain except a slight stinging in my breasts.
And don't panic, you can't see whats happening because you are led flat down!!!!

I had one with sedation and I was in pain, I did feel out of it but I was still in a bit of pain and quite a lot afterwardss. If I had to do it again I would be put to sleep I think

Any chance
For the clinic there is less risk for THEM to give you no anasthetic, ideally they would prefer to just dish out the tablets and let you deal with the abortion at home, but I guess you did not want that.
Any chance you could just forget about the whole thing and have your baby? I know you did not ask for this advice, but it is worth saying that you can back out of this right up to the last second, even if you are all prepped and gowned and on the table. You would not be the first and you wont be the last.
Although you might feel a huge sense of relief as soon as the abortion is over, you dont know how you will feel 5 weeks, 5 months, 5 years or 50 years after you do this. Abortion generally does not solve your problems, it just creates new ones.
You are stronger than what you think, and there is always a way to chose life for your child, sometimes you just have to be braver and more creative to find the solution.
Take care

What??
I'm sorry gaelfish but this is the 2nd or 3rd post of yours that Ive seen trying to encourage someone to keep it. You are obviously anti-abortion which is fine, its your choice but the girl is obviously not wanting to go through with the pregnancy and I think its unfair of you to say things like this. Someone said that to me and I had an abortion which was completely the right thing for me to do but I felt awful for about a year after because of what other people thought I should and should not do. Sorry but I just don't think its right to do that to someone who is in a difficult enough position as it is...

I wouldn't
Hi I prob went to same clinic as you - so did my friend. i had conscious sedation, friend had nothing. She said pain was horrendous. I found it painful with sedation. if i ever had to do again would have it done while asleep.
Just my advice.. some girls in there had nothing and were fine.
Hope it goes ok - they are lovely to you in there. they will look after you.
Take care

Hey
hey huni
i had a surigcal abortion without anaesthetic in january. during my procedure there were complications (not due to there being no anaesthetic and i could practically guarantee these complications wouldnt happen to you - it was just misfortunate for me that they happened) but i would say that the pain was bearable it just depends on your pain threshold and what you are expecting.
Although i would suggest that you think about whether you can take the emotional/psycological pain that you experience through being awake - you ARE aware of what is happening and that CAN be difficult to deal with even if you are COMPLETELY sure of your decision, nothing can really prepare you for it.
ALWAYS here if u need me huni, good luck whatever you do and just make sure you are happy with your decisions (i know you're probably sick of hearing it but it really is the best advice anyone can give u)

Hi
Do you have the option of having aneasthetic?
Sorry I can't really tell you whats it like without it as I had it with it, I prefereed it like that as I had no pain at all during and barely any afterwards.
With sedation, I've read that you can feel it but you're pretty out of it so not as aware of the pain.. but thats only what ive read.
Sorry I can't be much help. xx

Dont do it awake!
Hi, i had an abortion last august, i was going to have it whilst been awake, but just before i was taken down the nurse said to me " you do know you are going to be able to see what they will do to you",
so i couldnt do it, i got put to sleep instead which was the best thing to do as it seemed over in seconds,
you really dont need to know exactly what they are doing so get put to sleep, or you might regret it
