"17 weeks D&E surgical abortion under general..."

I went today to have a surgical abortion under general anaesthetic (was completely put to sleep for the procedure). I suffer with endometriosis and polycystic ovarian syndrome. I didn’t think it was possible for me to get pregnant and for a year and a half I was completely infertile (I’m now 19, 20 in a few weeks). Endometriosis is a progressive condition so as you can imagine it’s been very difficult for me emotionally. This could have been my only chance at having a baby so I have been very upset. I received nothing but reassurances and support. They knew I made the decision off of my own accord and never questioned me getting it done. I was in foster care when I was younger so my social worker had to be involved and I have a concoction of mental health problems. They dealt with this discreetly and non judgementally. The nurses didn’t react when I had to speak to them about the pregnancy affecting my PTSD, personality disorder, depression, eating disorder and anxiety. They made sure to accommodate to my PTSD by having the male doctors quickly introduce themselves to me before the surgery. They joked with me and we’re really nice to me, one letting me hold his hand when I started to have a panic attack about going under. The team slowly sort of introduced themselves and told me what their job role was before the surgery. Before I knew it I was awake and the procedure was done. Anyone worrying about going under, I didn’t even know I’d gone sleep yet when they woke me up. I then had a lovely lady who also suffers with endo speak to me and reassure as I came to and whilst I waited to be moved out of theatre. When leaving the theatre I was crying and thanking the staff because of how nice they had been. I honestly could not have had a better experience for such a horrible event and I am so thankful for all of the staff that dealt with me and made the day that much more manageable. I was able to leave very shortly after I had eaten some toast and had some tea. I would really recommend this clinic to anyone considering abortion, that being said BPAS as a hole have been absolutely brilliant. I would not have wanted to go anywhere else.
