[quote=Anonymous]OP, I am so sorry you're going through this. I don't have direct experience, but from what I've read, what you're describing sounds like standard procedure. The dilation is often done with sticks of sterilized seaweed, called laminaria. It's important that they do this so that your cervix is not damaged during the abortion. I think that the Babycenter group of women who have terminated pregnancies may be an additional source of support for you. There are also lots of posters who have talked about what the experience feels like and what to expect. http://community.babycenter.com/groups/a6325/termination_for_medical_reasons[/quote]
