Very hard case.

Good morning people.

This is a story that happened this past Friday at my job. This dominican 31 years old girl came to the clinic to finish up the abortion procedure which we started the day before. After 15 weeks pregnant is a two days procedure, meaning the the first day the doc put something called laminaria, which is a thin piece of sterile seaweed that can be used to gradually dilate the cervix.

We told her to be in the office the second day at 2:pm. This girl got in the office at 5:pm when we were almost leaving. She was telling lies like "the train wasn't working" but that wasn't true. She changed her mind about going it. She asked the doc what would happen if he just take the lam out. So she started crying because the doc tol her that that pregnancy was damage already and if he takes them out she might end up in the emergency room. (I agree with abortion but I don't understand how come a girl could wait that long to terminate the pregnancy). This is just ridiculous in my opinion.

We started the procedure, gave her anesthesia and all that. This was a very difficult case because the baby didn't want to come out. She was waking up with a lot of pain and that just broke my heart. To be honest, I was about to faint when I saw the doc trying to take the head out. The head was very big so that he had to take the speculum off because the head was bigger than it :-(. Finally he had to use scissors to cut it in half. When we finished she went insane. She woke up asking where was her baby, if it was a girl or a boy, if she was able to see it.

I agree with abortion 100% but I don't understand how come a woman could wait that long to get an abortion done. After the baby is moving, and everybody could see the belly. This girl was saying that she had to do it because her husband cheated on her and blah blah blah. The baby didn't has nothing to with it. This case makes me upset because if she didn't want to do it then I don't really understand why she did and then started to cry and wanted to see the baby, please! Nobody forced you to do it.
