Today, I was scheduled for a surgical abortion. My appointment was for 7:45 a.m & I arrived right at 7:46 a.m. I check in with the security & he hands me my papers and tells me to head to the second floor to fill out the paperwork. I get up to the second floor, & the glanced in the waiting room & turned around. It was over 20 people in the waiting room & I was already uncomfortable. I eventually got it together, went in & filled out my paperwork. After submitting it to the receptionist, I waited about 20 mins before she called my name & told me to head to the back. Once I got back in the back, I had to wait in another area for about 20 mins. Then I was called for my ultrasound. I got into the room & the technician asked me if I wanted to see photos, & I declined. However, she didn’t even bother turning the monitor & I still seen almost everything. My heart dropped. It was over quickly. She then told me to sit back out in the second waiting area for lab work & at this point I was annoyed because it was already 10 people out there waiting for lab work so I began thinking “Is this my sign that maybe I don’t need to do this?” I tried to ignore it so many times. After waiting 15 minutes to get lab work done & then just waiting 20 more minutes, the counselor called me back to explain the procedure. & while she was explaining it, I kept zoning in & out & had her to repeat almost everything. After about the third time of me zoning out, I just knew that I needed to go. I knew that this wasn’t what I really wanted to do. I was only there because I was scared of what others may think about me only being 21 with second child on the way. But FORGET those people. I know I can do this. & I feel so much better about my decision today.
