“I am so grateful to live in a country where this care is accessible.” 

In this story, a client shares their experience accessing non-judgemental and supportive care with MSI UK.


I found out I was unexpectedly pregnant and knew pretty much straight away I wanted an abortion. I had a scan through my local early pregnancy unit as I was having a lot of pain, and they told me the pregnancy was viable so would have to contact an abortion provider.

“I never felt judged.”

MSI provided me with such wonderful, supportive care and I am so grateful to live in a country where this care is accessible. I never felt judged throughout the whole process.

“I am grateful to be exactly where I am.”

3 months on I do still think about what could have been, but I am also very grateful to be exactly where I am.

My partner and best friend have been so supportive and wonderful.

I’m very grateful to MSI – without them my life would be very different.
