[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH OP: I have some advice for you, as I was your DW once, even down to this event being on a "memorable" date. I thought I'd struggle with that but went ahead anyway with the procedure. I even cried in the waiting room. Guess what? Turns out I do not struggle with it at all. It was the right choice, yet even so, it was hard to make at the time.

As she's coming down from this, her feelings might ebb and flow dramatically because, well, pregnancy hormones are involved and they've been dramatically cut off.

The surgical option is a good one but she may still bleed and that may involve passing large clots. She could feel great in 48 hours or need to be in bed for longer. She could feel great tomorrow and have a weird bleeding episode or small infection in a week. Those things are normal, so be prepared for her physical unpredictability as well. She'll be fine.

Get her the food she wants tonight and let her binge on Netflix all weekend.

[b]And at some point, watch Season 2 of Crazy Ex Girlfriend because a character in that show makes the same decision and it's portrayed so sympathetically, honestly, and in a way that is uplifting but not heart wrenching at all.[/b]

Hugs to both of you. You'll be fine.

Great suggestion.  I LOVED that story line and that scene.  She just looked so palpably relieved.  So authentic!  [/quote]
