Making a decision about your pregnancy is deeply personal, and you deserve clear, compassionate information to help you through it, whatever you choose. This is a shame-free space for abortion care: how to access support, what aftercare can look like, and how to be there for yourself (or someone you love) through the process.
There's no single 'right' feeling to have about abortion, and no single story either. Whether you've already made your decision or you're still figuring out what's right for you, you'll find honest, judgement-free guidance here, alongside real experiences from people who've been there. If you need immediate support, reaching out to a trusted provider (such as a local abortion clinic or a reputable reproductive health organisation like BPAS or MSI Reproductive Choices in the UK, Planned Parenthood in the US, or MSI Reproductive Choices and Marie Stopes internationally) is always a good place to start.

Abortion Care FAQs
The most common Cliterally community questions, answered.
Is abortion care confidential?
Yes. In most places abortion care is confidential, though privacy laws and the rules for under-18s vary by country and region, so it's worth checking directly with your provider about their specific privacy policies where you live.
How do I know abortion is the right choice for me?
Only you can know what's right for you. There's no correct way to feel, whether that's relief, grief, certainty or a mix of everything at once. A trained counsellor at an abortion provider can talk it through with you without judgement if that would help.
Ultimately, this is your body and your decision, and no one else should make it for you. If you feel pressured by anyone to make a particular choice, please speak to an abortion provider, who can support you confidentially.
Will having an abortion affect my fertility?
For the vast majority of people, a safely performed abortion doesn't affect future fertility. If you have any concerns, it's worth raising them directly with your provider.
What does aftercare actually involve?
Aftercare varies depending on the type of procedure, but generally includes rest, pain relief, monitoring for any complications, and emotional support. Your provider will give you guidance specific to your situation.
Where can I get support if I feel alone in this?
You're not alone, even when it feels that way. Charities, helplines and abortion providers all offer confidential support, and our Share your story space is here too, for reading other people's experiences or sharing your own.
