“I owe the staff at this particular clinic my life”
This client shares their story of a surgical abortion at our South Yorkshire (Rotherham) clinic – they believe that access to this care saved their life.
After taking the time to make the best decision for myself and partner, we made the incredibly difficult choice to end a pregnancy. The entire process was such a positive experience. At no point were we met with any judgement; only support and care from the provider.
“They were amazing and so supportive.”
The day of the surgery was incredibly difficult; the staff were amazing and so supportive. I unfortunately found myself in a lot of pain before the surgery*, but the staff ensured that I was seen to and helped me manage the pain while assuring me everything was going to be okay.
At no point was I made to feel like the pain was not that bad and I should ‘deal with it’ which can often be the case when dealing with medical services.
“We are incredibly lucky to have this free service”
I honestly think this service is a lifesaver and we are incredibly lucky to have this free service available without having to jump through hoops to access it.**
I never thought I would need a service like this, but I am forever grateful that I was able to access this when needed. I owe the staff at this particular clinic my life and wish I was able to express how much I appreciate all of them. I’ll never forget the kindness and compassion they showed me.
*Every person is different and will experience different levels of pain throughout the process. Find out more about pain and surgical abortion here.
