BPAS Bournemouth

I had a surgical abortion with conscious sedation at BPAS Bournemouth. I was extremely nervous and felt horrible. Waiting times can be quite long so if you have an appointment for an abortion expect to be there for majority of the day. I was first seen to confirm health history and ask if Im certain as well as explain how the procedure is going to go. I was give misoprostol to dilate the cervix which was extremely unpleasant for about an hour due to extreme cramping. After that hour passed, I was taken up to get changed into my gown. Nurse Erica was so extremely kind and reassuring. The doctor who performed my surgery was also so lovely. Its not as scary as you think it is. After my sedation, I really dont remember much. The procedure seemed to last what felt like a minute. There was one part that felt slightly painful but honestly hurt less than getting an IUD insertion. They placed me in a recovery room which some tea and biscuits. The nurses asked me how I was feeling and checked my vitals very regularly. They made a very unpleasant day very bearable. They work hard and deserve the recognition.

I had an abortion in 2002 and gave birth to the twin baby two days later. I honestly didnt realise that I was getting rid of a fully formed baby. I was traumatised and had to work through the process of loss. I had twin daughters so I dont know why I wasnt offered a scan to see if I was carrying twins. That experience totally changed my view of abortion

If I could this 0 star I would, my friends treatment at that place, wasnt at all comforting, you cant have friends in the clinic during covid and no comfort and no privacy. Apparently the lost her stuff and she wasnt allowed to sleep after treatment. 0 stars. You need better staff, that are trained in care of people. Dont go. Read the other reviews & this service needs a serious re-think. Hope this place, gets better for their patients sake. Some people suffer trauma and this is not a comforting place to get the procedure done. They should be ashamed.
