- Abstract
Objective: to know the feelings arising from women's experience in an abortion process. Method: qualitative study, developed in a public maternity hospital in Teresina-PI, between August and September 2018. Fourteen women who have undergone abortion participated. The categories emerged from thematic content analysis. Results: Feelings emerged upon the discovery of pregnancy, such as surprise and fear for not knowing about the pregnancy until the moment of abortion. The abortion process brought reflections about the situation in which they found themselves. We identified feelings such as sadness, fear, despair, impotence, and anguish, besides physical discomfort. The intention of not getting pregnant again and the desire to undergo a sterilization procedure was justified because they were hopeless and afraid of this situation repeating itself. Conclusion: feelings were known that show that the abortion process is a complex experience and at the same time marked by psychological conflicts, characterizing a completely traumatizing event.
