Understanding a woman’s situation is clearly not possible. The best you can do is try to make things less painful for her. When my girlfriend got to know that she is pregnant, the changed mood, and vibes around her, all had become negative and of depression. I could see how the pregnancy had made a drastic change in her in only a few days.
Though I did not have any problems with her pregnancy, I decided to speak to her about other options. By this, I meant abortion. When I broke the ice between us regarding this topic, she saw hope, and she started crying.
That’s when I knew what needed to be done. We immediately got in touch with her healthcare provider. I was simultaneously reading about medical abortion procedures and how abortion pills can be accessed.
When it was finalized that medical pregnancy termination had to be done, we decided that we would go with the online pharmacy option for the medications. I ordered abortion pills online. While the pills were going to reach home, we studied how the pills should be taken.
I also read a few blogs on partner’s care during the process of medical pregnancy termination. When the pills arrived, both of us were better prepared for the procedure. Of course, I had a massive part in the painful procedure. It was her who was going to face it all.
The first pill, Mifepristone, was good. She was behaving normally the whole day. I felt relieved only to realize that the real picture will be seen after taking Misoprostol. So, when she took the Misoprostol pill the very next day, she started bleeding in only a few hours. Also, she seemed numb with all the abdominal pain.
I was trying every possible thing to ensure that this whole abortion thing is not too painful as we were told. So, I helped her with a heating pad. Also, I got some nice salads during the process.
Luckily, we both are in the same field, so I made sure that she doesn’t have to worry about her work. I worked from home on behalf of her on the 2nd and 3rd day of bleeding. I was home for the four days of her abortion bleeding. I was glad that I could help her with all this.
I was told that post-abortion care was one of the essential aspects of faster recovery. So whatever the precaution instructions which were given to us by our healthcare provider, we followed every one of them.
Finally, when her bleeding stopped, and everything was almost coming back to normal, I could see the happiness in her eyes. On the 6th day night, she wanted some good bedtime, but I knew that having sex during or immediately after abortion wasn’t a good thing for her recovery. I explained to her why we shouldn’t do it and take any chances. She listened. She had to!
We took a pregnancy test after a few days. The results were negative. She wasn’t pregnant anymore. More than her, I happened to be happy about her and the whole situation. I feel every partner should try to involve in the medical abortion procedure and make the process less painful for their women.
