"I ended up in this hospital because of that man. You think I want to carry his child after all he's done?"
The doctor tried to persuade me again, but I was having none of it. Impatiently, I went to register with another doctor.
I forgot to tell the nurse not to book a specialist—I'd seen every OB-GYN specialist here while trying to conceive.
The general practitioner I ended up with didn't pry about my decision to have an abortion, just offered some advice.
"Given your condition, maybe we should schedule the procedure for just before your discharge. That way, you can head straight home afterward."
I nodded, accepting the suggestion.
My condition wasn't ideal for an abortion right now, and since early-term abortions are less risky, waiting a bit seemed wise.
