How To Be There For Each Other While Going Through An Abortion


If you're in a long term relationship, more often than ever, inevitably, you're bound to face a huge plausibility of getting knocked up. It's just something you can't avoid like vegetarian Tuesdays or a bad cold perhaps. Even if you're not in a Β long term relationship, most couples risk a possibility of doing it without protection, to heighten pleasure and end up with some tough decisions in hand.

It's quite taxing for a woman, both physically and emotionally to go through an unplanned pregnancy, especially if the decision is wavering towards an abortion. So men, if your woman is pregnant and you both unanimously decide on an abortion, it's imperative you show her all the love and support you can muster. We understand it's a tough time for you too but it only becomes better if you make your partner feel a bit more at ease and understand what she's going through.

Stress On How You Understand What She's Going Through

If you know there is an abortion coming up, you have to mentally gear up and be prepared. Β By the time your partner finds out she's pregnant, her body is already changing, making room for the foetus to develop. She'll probably be moody and nauseous and may undergo short term depression, trying to handle the eventuality of the situation. Just be there for her and assure her you understand what she's going through. Sometimes just your words will get her by and at the end of the day make you feel better too.

Don't Be Too Hard On Yourself

It's easy to blame each other for being callous in bed. Just remember mistakes happen all the time and sometimes they're beyond anyone's control or manifestations. Don't be too hard on yourself or your partner and deal with the situation tactfully instead.

*** Might Take A Back Seat

Be affectionate towards her but remember she may not be sexual at this point in time as she may connect *** with this difficult situation. Her *** drive might be at the lowest, so don't feel rejected if she withdraws from you physically. Instead, initiate physical contact through lots of hugs and cuddles.

Post Abortion Care Is Imperative For Both Your Well Beings

Definitely go over the after-care manual. Abortion brings about a lot of pain both emotionally and physically and healing can take time. Cramps and unusual emotional outbursts are common, as for some women, the loss can be unbearable in the beginning. You can probably make it easier for your woman by making sure she's taking her post procedure medication. Shower her with oodles of affection. Pro Tip: Bring her a heating pad and you get a dozen brownie points.

Talk About It As Much As You Can

Communication is a great tool to overcome any difficulty in a relationship. The more you talk about the situation at hand, the more comfortable you feel about it, considering the mutual support and interest you both show in dealing with the situation. Have an open honest conversation about what should be done and how best to handle the dilemma.
