Abortion? Planned Parenthood?

Question

Please don't try to talk me out of it. I have an abortion scheduled at Planned Parenthood in a few weeks. I've tortured myself reading stories after stories. But mostly I'm scared of how the employees there treat you? The pain? The physical side affects? 
Have any of you guys had experience with abortion or Planned Parenthood workers?
I just want this to go easily and as less painful as possible.
I'm 16.

Answer

This needs to be moved to the prochoice support room because someone will come after you with a nasty comment. 1. It's only allowed in that room so it won't get deleted by admins 2. The people who do post shitty comments will be reported more there. 
Now that that's out of the way, stop reading horror stories. It's a hard process to go through, I think more mentally than physically. 
It completely depends on what type of abortion you have. You can take the abortion pill, it's 2 pills and one pill ends the pregnancy and then next pill causes you to expel it. That is what will be painful because it's a forced miscarriage and those aren't pleasant. Heavy cramping and bleeding/literal contractions and passing of the fetus. The pill is mostly for the first trimester. Usually if you are past 10 weeks they will do the surgical, which is less painful because it's all removed by the doctor so your body doesn't do the work. They give you pain medication and I think they can put you to sleep if you want that. 
After a surgical abortion you can have some heavy bleeding and cramps but not as severe as the pill. If you have any questions feel free to message me. Best of luck

Answer

Full disclosure I am pro-life however, I'm going to give the most mutual advice possible. The abortion probably will hurt, during and after. There will be side effects both physically and mentally. I think since you're so young, you should probably schedule to see a therapist after the procedure so it's not as traumatic.

Answer

I'm prochoice, but would never do it again. I did the pills and it was so painful I thought I was going to die. I didn't know that much pain was possible. I fell over from pain and there was lots of bleeding and vomiting.

The people at PP depends where you are. I've had horrible experiences with the ones in TX - with just regular visits, but in WA they were super nice and understanding.

Good luck.

Answer

If you have any questions, I would try asking the doctor doing it. But I've heard it can be uncomfortable. I've never had one personally. 
But good luck, wishing a safe abortion to you!
