  • Personal experiences of medical abortion please?

    Hello Everyone, I al not here to start a debate about aborting or not. Frankly I think either way you think about it you should keep it to yourself and not put other people down. Anyway i was just curious of other peoples experiences of a medical abortion, which is the pill and NOT surgical where they get suctioned out. Also how far along where you? Anything else you can add as well.

    Thank you in advance for all the straight forward answers (not the rambling ones about how abortion is is bad and so on)

    Hello everyone, Ive seen some people who won't let you on their profiles contact them and the only way is to add them to YOUR contacts but i was wondering once they become your contact how do you chat/get in contact with them without replying to an answer they've posted.

  • Birth Poem~for the pregnant ladies =)?

    Here are two poems I have found and kept with me, I hope it inspires and helps a few of these Lovely pregnant ladies on here...enjoy!

    ~~CONFRONTING FEAR~~

    Birth is the strongest force a woman normally experiences.

    If there is harmony with this force, your body and mind will enter into a different state,

    One that surrenders totally to natural forces.

    Labour and birth are a matter of believing, trusting, and listening to your instincts-

    A matter of getting close enough to yourself

    And to the information you are receiving from your body.

    You must rely on yourself.

    You cannot rely on anyone else, a partner, a support, a coach, they cannot do it for you.

    Their support and love are invaluable,

    Making it possible for more than just yourself to share in this most beautiful act of love,

    The joyful bringing forth of life.

    Tune into your labour, unfold your inherent birth knowledge.

    Use your own rhythm,

    Get behind it and don't have your mind in any time of the future.

    Accept each contraction one at a time,

    Just as you expect the sun rising each morning, without question, one day at a time.

    A factor in labour is the intense sensation.

    It is beyond the expectations of anyone who has never given birth.

    This intense sensation is simply part of the whole, and when there is no fear, it simply is.

    It is nothing more,

    Nothing to be afraid of,

    Nothing to waste your time and energy fighting against.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Childbirth is an experience

    In a woman’s life

    That holds the power

    To transform her

    Forever

    Passing through

    These powerful gates

    ~ Each in her own way ~

    Remembering

    All the generations of mothers

    Who walk with her

    She is alone ~

    Yet not alone.
