If I were a doc that is exactly what I would be thinking.

Meditation isn't a cure. Neither are meds. It will help however. If you have no experience with it guidance would be best.

I have to agree with this. The more your pregnancy progresses, the more you'll have to deal with all the physical and emotional issues that come with the drastic shift in hormones an abortion will cause. Plus, the earlier you terminate the pregnancy, the simpler the procedure you can have and the easier it will be on your body.

Maybe I'm wrong, but right now it seems you are just kind of swept up in the current, and feeling overwhelmed and powerless because you don't know what's coming next. Not that anyone could blame you. But sometimes taking action and making plans can restore a sense of empowerment, like you will be controlling what happens next, and that there is help on the way. It provides a definite sequence of events that you can anticipate and prepare yourself for, as well.

So if I were you, I would sit down and work out a timeline, and then start scheduling appointments based on that. I would arrange to have the abortion done on one day, and arrange to have my first counseling appointment within a week after the abortion. The logistics might be tricky, given that you are moving within a month, but maybe this would be a good time to talk to your boyfriend to figure out how he can be with you through the procedure and the days afterward, even if you end up having the abortion in one place and starting counseling in another.
